I think arriving around 6 PM is perfect... It gives you time to enjoy the sunset and the vibe of the place really boosts after dark... Bring your own drinks to save cash, as the bar prices can be a bit high
I suggest trying to chat with the locals. They can point you to some hidden gems around, plus it’s always nice to make new friends while traveling. I made a couple of awesome pals!

I recommend looking up any special events or theme nights before you go. I missed a fabulous queer night by a week - total bummer!

if you wanna avoid the crowd, visit on a weekday. the weekend gets packed. trust me, i felt overwhelmed with all the people around. midsweeks are so much chiller
Ephesus Ancient City
Kordon Boyu Recreation Area
Elevator

I recommend checking out the little shops nearby before or after your visit... They have some unique souvenirs that you won't find elsewhere
Library of Celsus

Don’t miss the chance to sit on the steps in front of the library for a classic photo – it’s the perfect spot to take in the view!
Hierapolis
Alacati Bazaar
Castle in Bodrum
Ephesus

Bring water and some snacks. They don't really sell much within the site, and prices can be a bit steep. I got super thirsty and wished I had stocked up before entering!

Check for discount tickets online before you go; I saved a few bucks. I purchased mine from an app, and it made the entrance smooth and easy for me.

First off, get there early! I mean like 8 AM if you can. It was much less crowded then, and I really enjoyed the peace of walking through the ancient ruins without tons of people.
