Its 30-45 mins by taxi from the ferry port to Ataturk airport.

Don't know about Ephesus, sorry.

Is Ephesus worth it? Well, it's the main ancient site in Turkey. So I guess you could say it's worth it.

You can also get to the airport from the international ferry port by public transit. It would take an hour or so and involve switching from the tram to the metro.

Ephesus - yes its worth it. Allow yourself time to get through security entering Ataturk Airport as the queues can be long sometimes. Last trip it took me half an hour to actually get through the doors from the taxi stop off point and into the check in area.

Enjoy.
