Bence yorumlarda bahsediliği gibi kötü bir hizmet yok bize karşı gayet güleryüzlü ve ilgiliydiler. Çorba içtik ve gözleme yedik, gayet de lezzetliydi. Türk kahvesi ve çayın sunumu da güzeldi. Efesi gezerken yorulmadan önce aç olanlar için atıştırma ve soluklanma yeri olabilir bence.

well located at the entrance of the Ephesus ruins, a great stop for a quick drink. Good, friendly staff but a bit expensive.
