How much should I expect to pay for a taxi from the port to ephesus entrance and back? Is the taxi ride per person or metered or standard fare?

How much do the tour guides at the entrance gates charge?

I understand there is no bus option from the port to ephesus...

thanks,

getting a taxi to ephesus from the port - go to the upper entrance. there are no facilities in ephesus site, visit the toilet by the vendors before entering. at the bottom of the hill, there should be taxis to return you to the ship or for a stop at the house of mary. you should have plenty of time to see both but by reversing the usual bus tour route you will have a little less congestion.

the hillside houses do require a special admission ticket, about 8 or 10 lira as i recall. remarkable. worth the money.

Try 60 euros.
No meter for such a trip ; pay for full car, always.
Sure there is option to Selcuk but you will waste your time.
