Ephesus admission price and night visit: is it worth going from Selçuk?

In September 2026, travelers were advised to check the Ephesus ticket price on the official museum portal of Turkey's Ministry of Culture and Tourism (muze.gov.tr): find the Ephesus museum there and review the terms for your travel dates. A traveler planning a visit with a stop in Selçuk assumed the ticket was about 40 euros — check the exact amount on the portal before you go.

Is the night visit worth it? In September 2026 a participant advised that if the night programme is still running on your dates, you should arrive in the afternoon, see everything and stay for the evening when the illumination comes on. In his words, it is very atmospheric. He warned that at that time the paths to the outlying parts of the site are closed.

According to a participant, you do not need a separate night ticket for this: you buy a ticket, arrive in the afternoon and simply stay into the evening — nobody will make you leave. That was the reply in September 2026 to a traveler unsure whether to go straight to the night viewing or come the next afternoon and stay on.
