Overview
Spend your day in port with your own licensed local guide and driver, and see the best of Ephesus at the pace that suits you. We meet you at the Kusadasi cruise terminal, plan the route around your ship's schedule and arrange your Ephesus tickets in advance, so you skip the ticket line. Visit the House of the Virgin Mary, walk the marble streets of the Ancient City to the Library of Celsus and the Great Theatre, and stand where the Temple of Artemis, one of the Seven Wonders, once rose. Add the Terrace Houses, a local lunch or a traditional craft workshop if you wish; your guide tailors the day to your group, and you are back at the port well before all-aboard.

-
The House of the Virgin MaryDrive up the wooded slopes of Mount Koressos to the small stone house believed to be the last home of the Virgin Mary. Honored by both Christians and Muslims and visited by several popes, it is a quiet place to light a candle, leave a wish on the prayer wall and taste the spring water. Shoulders and knees should be covered inside.
-
Ephesus Ancient CityYour guide uses the pre-arranged tickets to take you straight in at the upper gate, then you walk downhill (easier on the legs) along the marble Curetes Street. See the Odeon, the Temple of Hadrian, the Roman latrines and the famous facade of the Library of Celsus, then finish at the Great Theatre, which once held about 25,000 people and where St. Paul is said to have preached. Your guide sets the pace and points out the best photo spots.
-
Ephesus Terrace HousesOptional add-on inside the Ephesus site: step into the roofed hillside villas where wealthy Ephesians lived, with mosaic floors and painted walls still in place. Separate ticket (about EUR 15 per person), paid on the day; just tell your guide if you would like to include it.
-
The Temple of ArtemisStop at the site of the Temple of Artemis, one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World. A single rebuilt column now stands in the marshy field, often topped by a stork's nest, with views up to Ayasuluk Hill and the Basilica of St. John. Your guide brings the lost temple back to life with stories of its builders and its destruction.
-
SelcukOptional, only if you are interested: visit a local craft workshop to see traditional Turkish arts up close, such as hand-knotted carpet weaving, leatherwork, ceramics or jewelry making. There is no obligation to buy anything, and you can skip this stop to spend more time at the sites or enjoy an optional local lunch (paid on the day).
-
KusadasiDrive back to the Kusadasi cruise port, timed so you are back well before your ship's all-aboard time. If you have time left, the old town bazaar and Pigeon Island castle are a short walk from the port.
