Ephesus Opening Hours and How Your Visit Works

Ephesus is open every day, and the gate hours shift with the season. From April through October the site runs 08:00 to 19:00, and from November through March it's 08:00 to 08:30 opening with a 17:30 close, so plan a summer morning if you want to beat the heat.

Once you're through the fast-track entry, the route is self-guided. Follow your audio tour on your phone at whatever pace you like, and most people spend three to five hours covering the main sights before heading back out the way they came.
