• Kusadasi - Meet at the Cruise Port!
  Once the tour is booked, the operator will promptly contact you with a personalized meeting time and exact location, tailored to your cruise ship’s schedule.
• Ancient City of Ephesus - Discover the UNESCO-listed Ancient City of Ephesus, one of the best-preserved Greco-Roman cities globally. Highlights include the Odeon, used for concerts and performances; the Temple of Domitian, one of the earliest temples dedicated to a Roman emperor; and the magnificent Celsus Library, the third-largest library of the ancient world.
  You will also visit the impressive Great Amphitheatre, one of the largest in the ancient world with a capacity of 24,000 people, where St. Paul famously preached to the Ephesians. Stroll along Marble Street and explore the Roman Baths, fountains, temples, agora, public toilets, the historic Love House, and many other fascinating structures.
  For those interested, the Terrace Houses—renowned for their stunning mosaics and wall paintings—are available as an optional visit.
• Ephesus Museum - After exploring the Ephesus Open-Air Museum, the journey continues with a visit to the Ephesus Archaeological Museum, where you can see the most important artifacts, statues, and treasures unearthed from the ancient city.
• The Temple of Artemis - Artemis was the Greek goddess, the virginal huntress and twin of Apollo, who replaced the Titan Selene as Goddess of the Moon.

The ancient temple was built around 650 BC to honor the cult of Artemis and was constructed on a site already sacred to the Anatolian Mother Goddess, Cybele. The temple was financed by the wealthy king of Lydia, and the marshy ground was chosen for the building site as a precaution against future earthquakes.
While visiting the Basilica of St. John, there will be a panoramic view of the Temple of Artemis.

• Kusadasi Shopping Center - There will also be an opportunity to explore authentic local handicrafts and, if desired, enjoy a truly genuine shopping experience. A professional local tour guide will be by your side to offer valuable insights—highlighting the finest traditional crafts, recommending the most reputable places to visit, and providing expert tips to ensure a smooth, enjoyable, and completely hassle-free experience.
• Kusadasi Castle - Also known as Pigeon Island, it is one of the earliest settled areas of modern Kusadasi. The tour will pass by and offer a chance to see it from a distance. Since it is located very close to the port, there may be time to visit it independently after the tour if interested.
• Okuz Mehmet Pasa KervansarayI - The tour will drive through Kusadasi Town, offering a panoramic view while listening to key information from the Local Tour Guide.
• Kusadasi - At the end of the tour, return to the Kusadasi Cruise Port according to the exact onboard time.
