Itinerary

Port Kusadasi Turkey

The Tour Specialist will greet you at the cruise port holding a sign with your name on it!

15 minutes
Ancient City of Ephesus

Explore the vast Ephesus Ruins, Turkey's premier open-air museum, dating back to the Greek and Roman eras. Delve into ancient marvels like the Senate Building, Ancient Hospital, Domitian Temple, Nike Statue, Hercules Gate, Trajan Fountain, Hadrian Temple, Celsus Library, and the iconic Grand Theatre of Ephesus, among numerous others.

2 hours
Ephesus Terrace Houses

The Terrace Houses of Ephesus were once luxurious residences of the affluent elite, adorned with stunning mosaics, frescoes, and wall paintings. Renowned for their opulence, these houses remain one of Ephesus's best-preserved sites, where ongoing archaeological excavations unveil further insights into ancient life.

30 minutes
Saint John Kilisesi

During the early A.D., Evangelist St. John resided in Ephesus, dedicated to spreading Christianity and gathering followers. After his exile in Patmos, he returned to Ephesus, where he passed away, reportedly buried on the southern slope of Ayosolug Hill by his disciples. Roman Emperor Justinian honored his legacy by erecting one of Christianity's largest basilicas in the 4th century A.D., built over St. John the Evangelist's burial site.

30 minutes
The Temple of Artemis

Artemis, the Greek goddess and twin of Apollo, was revered as the virginal huntress and later became associated with the moon, succeeding the Titan Selene in this aspect. The ancient temple dedicated to Artemis was erected around 650 BC on a site previously sacred to the Anatolian Mother Goddess, Cybele. Financed by the affluent king of Lydia, the temple's location on marshy ground was chosen to mitigate earthquake risks. Throughout its history, the temple suffered numerous destructions and collapses, largely attributed to natural disasters.
