If you want to visit a special area in Ephesus, you just need to let us know. A special tour program will be prepared and sent to you. If you do not have information about Ephesus, an optional tour program with a list of places to visit will be prepared for you by our local guides.
We'll meet you at the port where your cruise is stopping. We will take you to the top Ephesus attractions during your short waiting time.
The journey will begin with a drive to Ephesus, which will take approximately 25-30 minutes. Our tour will begin at The House of Virgin Mary, which is located 5 kilometers from Ephesus in the Aladag Mountains. Virgin Mary arrived in Ephesus with St. John in 37 A.D. and stayed there until her death in 48 A.D. In 1892, it became a pilgrimage site after its discovery. Pope Paul VI paid a visit and prayed here on July 26, 1967. We will spend about 40 minutes here, and you will be able to leave a message on the famous wishing wall (do not forget to bring your paper).
The tour will next continue to Ephesus, one of Turkey's most important sights, where we will begin our tour from the upper gate. (Please note that Ephesus is a lengthy walk, and it is recommended that you wear comfortabşe footwear because there are steps and rough ground.)
The Baths of Scholastica, the Library of Celsus (built in the early 2nd century A.D. by Gaius Julius Aquila as a memorial to his father Gaius Julius Celsus Polemanus, the proconsul of Province of Asia), the Temple of Hadrian, and the Grand Theatre are just a few of Ephesus' most impressive structures. The Grand Amphitheatre was established in the 3rd century B.C. and later rebuilt by the Romans in the 1st century A.D. to accommodate 24.000 spectators.
During the tour of Ephesus, there will be many opportunities to immortalize your experience, and if you're shopping for souvenirs, there will be cafes, restrooms, and plenty of gift stands near the end of the city.
The Temple of Artemis, which was once one of the seven wonders of the ancient world, will be our next visit, where we will see what remains before returning to Kusadasi town center and port.
We are meticulously arranging your tour in accordance with your waiting time at the port. Your return time to the port is scheduled in order for you to easily rejoin your cruise. The tour times are based on the local time; not on ship time.
Once you disembark from your cruise ship, you should enter the terminal building and walk straight. You will meet your guide there and he will take you to your air-conditioned transportation.
We highly recommend you carry sunscreen, a hat, and water with you during the tour. Wearing comfortable shoes for this excursion would be a plus, as it involves some walking with inclines and steps.
The local currency of Turkey is the Turkish Lira; however, payment with Euro, British pound, and American dollars are also accepted by the locals.
It is forbidden to wear shoes inside the mosque; hence you will be asked to remove your shoes while walking inside the mosque. Inside the mosque, men were recommended to wear long trousers and sleeved shirts, while women were recommended to wear slacks, below-knee dresses or skirts, and elbow-length or longer shirts. For their hair, women can wear scarfs. If you do not have suitable clothing the attendants at the entrance will be assisting you free of charge.
