Ancient City of Ephesus
UNESCO listed place; The ancient city of Ephesus (Ephesos) takes you on an unforgettable journey through history; etched on minds as the home of the Blessed Virgin Mary, stretching back to the Neolithic period and inhabited in the greatest period of the Roman Empire. This ancient city was valued for a long time as a harbour town, and due to the excavations which have uncovered new sections and artefacts every year, the city continues to surprise its visitors and to maintain its historical value.

Great Private Tour of Kusadasi

5.00Our tour guide Jon(Umut) was waiting for us outside the cruise ship terminal. This was a private tour with Lunch. Our tour guide was friendly and he provided historical facts about the sites. The tour guide also provided skip the line tickets for the Ephesus and Virgin Mary house. He was kind enough to take our pictures at all the photo spots. We covered all the sites in the tour and we return back to the ship terminal with ample time to spend at the port. The tour includes carpet making education and you have a chance to buy carpet and jewelry from the shops if you wish. We enjoyed the tour and the Lunch.

5.00Lisa was a great guide. Showed us the highlights around Ephesus while doing her best to stay out of the sun. She pointed out a lot of things that we wouldn’t have noticed in our own. She was very flexible with what we wanted to see and accommodating since it was unseasonably hot.

5.00Ismail was a wonderful guide around Kusadasi. He picked us up from our cruise terminal, took us to all the sights, then dropped us at Cruise port at the end of the day. He gave us information on what we were seeing and the local culture and was very friendly and informative. After the tour we went to local reataurant that was the best part of the tour! The traditional dishes was so tasty! During the tour we had a chance to see sone traditional items (optional) I highly recommend him and this local company for private tours of Kusadasi! Thank you for a wonderful day!
