Overview

This 4- to 6-hour tour offers either a group or private option and includes round-trip transport from Kusadasi Cruise Port. The tour begins with pickup at the port, where guests meet the guide at the exit area. Visitors first spend about two hours exploring the ancient city of Ephesus, once the Roman Empire’s second-largest city with over 250,000 inhabitants. Highlights include the large marble structures, the amphitheater seating over 25,000 people, the Library of Celsus (the third largest ancient library), Hadrian’s Gate, the Temple of Artemis Nike statue, the local pharmacy, and the marble and harbor streets. Next, the group moves on to the Carpet Village for a demonstration of carpet weaving followed by a deluxe Turkish lunch in the local setting. After lunch, there is a visit to the Temple of Artemis, a Greek temple dedicated to the goddess Artemis and one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World. The tour concludes with a timely return to Kusadasi Cruise Port to ensure guests catch their ship departure. The fully air-conditioned vehicle, professional licensed guide, entrance fees, and lunch are included, but beverages, personal expenses, driver and guide tips, and entrance fees (if not pre-paid) are not included.
