Ephesus is such an inspiration to visit

Wow - you’ve got to actually be there in person to get the feel of the enormity MEN built all that. How many died doing so. History is wonderful Turkish people are very friendly I worked for an 🇺🇸hydraulics company and their office based in Birmingham we dealt with the EU and Turkey companies needing hydraulics for their machines like JCB based in Ismir and Bursa I used to be sent lots of dried fruits 🇬🇧🇬🇧🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿❤️❤️👍 👍

Ephesus is amazing. We were there in March and it wasn't too busy. I imagine it being very different in the height of summer. Enjoyed the ancient toilet talk 🤣

Thanks so much! Yes Ephesus is stunning. Toilet talk is always interesting 😁

Great video Bill. I know they take a lot of pre- and post-production, but would love to see more, more often!

Hi Caron, thank you so much for your lovely comments! Yes, it does take quite a while to produce each edition. About 2 weeks on average, per video... but I enjoy the creative process!

Shocking that after 6 minutes of talking about Ephesus you failed to mention that it was a Greek city built by the ancient Greeks ages before the Romans arrived (and a full millennium before the Turks occupied it). Other than that, a good video. Just subbed.

Bill I am new to your channel and a new cruiser. I am enjoying your videos very much and have subscribed. Good luck with your work. My wife and I want to do a Med cruise and I’ve seen Ephesus is on many itineraries so this video is very timely and well done. Btw, your MSC video encouraged me to cancel a cruise with them that I had booked. That’s not for me.

@ritzytravelguide Ай бұрын

Welcome to the Channel, thank you so much! After reading that reference to them, MSC will be chasing me with a fly swat!!

@nowakezoneforever6021 Ай бұрын

@@ritzytravelguide lol your videos were very fair. what turned me off were the number of people on board and the nightly deck parties. Reduced staffing to reduce prices doesn’t work for me either.

@pauldolan6459 Ай бұрын

Great video Bill. We are there in October, would you recommend the private tour and who did you use? Thanks

@ritzytravelguide Ай бұрын

Hi there, yes I would thoroughly recommend the private tour we used. Umut, the guide, did a great job. You can find his details here: www.getyourguide.com/kusadasi-l986/highlights-of-ephesus-private-tour-from-kusadasi-port-t476905/?

Hello Bill , very informative content. We will be going to a Mediterranean Cruise in October with RCL… we saw at GET YOUR GUIDE private tour that it doesn’t include entry tickets . Could you give us an idea of how many places in this tour package needs an entry ticket and more or less with the tour that you did , how much was the total package for you and your wife? Thanks

@ritzytravelguide 20 күн бұрын

Hi, our tour was approximately $50 person. It was a private your, with us only, in a minibus, collection from the Port of Kuşadası. It included entry tickets to Ephesus, and the house of the Virgin Mary, and lunch. We were very glad to have booked a guide, otherwise Ephesus would be very difficult to appreciate.
