Kusadasi - KUSADASI PORT/ HOTEL DEPARTURE
This tour is designed for small groups, with a maximum of 10 participants per bus.
Meet the tour guide at Kusadasi port, identified by the EPHESUS SHUTTLE sign, or in the hotel lobby. Different cruises have varying pick-up times, which will be confirmed upon booking.
- Ancient City of Ephesus - After a warm welcome, the journey to Ephesus begins. Stroll through history along marble streets lined with remarkable public buildings, including the Baths of Scholastica and the Library of Celsus. The library was constructed in the early 2nd century A.D. by Gaius Julius Aquila as a tribute to his father, Gaius Julius Celsus Polemanus, the proconsul of the Province of Asia. The Temple of Hadrian and The Grand Theater are among the most striking structures in Ephesus. The Grand Theater, originally built in the 3rd century B.C., was expanded by the Romans in the 1st century A.D. to accommodate 24,000 spectators.
- Ephesus Terrace Houses - Explore the Terrace Houses located on the slopes of Pion Mountain. These six residential units were constructed on three artificial terraces and were inhabited by Ephesus’s affluent citizens. The houses are lavishly adorned with wall frescoes and floor mosaics. There are numerous steps to climb from the base to the top, making it unsuitable for those with walking difficulties or acrophobia (fear of heights).
- The Temple of Artemis - The final stop is at the Temple of Artemis, once one of the seven wonders of the ancient world, before returning to Kusadasi town center and port.
The tour concludes with a return to Kusadasi and drop-off at the original meeting point. This marks the end of the services.

Loved Ephesus - We had a great experience with Pinar. She was very knowledgeable about the ancient city of Ephesus. We learned a lot about the culture and the history. We had a great experience as it was only the two of us so we had a private tour with her. I would recommend this tour with Pinar.

Memorable ! - I recently took this tour while on a cruise stop in Kusadasi . Pick up was easy and there were no worries about getting back in time to the port. Transfer to Ephesus was smooth and we got to the House of Mary early so didn't have to queue for long.
Gurkan was a wonderful guide.... friendly, inclusive, knowledgable and patient with all our questions. It was a memorable day and I would highly recommend this tour.

Great time in Ephesus! - Spent a lovely day in Ephesus with our guide Nejdet. He let us plan our own day so we were able see the sites that were most important to us. He also suggested other sites that we found interesting and informative. Nejdet speaks perfect English and is both interesting and informative. Two out of the 4 of us have mobility issues so Nejdet went at a slower pace which made our day very pleasurable. We highly recommend that you use this service.

Excellent Tour! - Excellent tour with Sufan! She was wonderful—her explanations at Ephesus were clear and engaging. On the drive to and from the cruise ship, she also highlighted many interesting sites, which made the experience even better.
