Meet your guide at the port in Kusadasi, then take a seat in your air-conditioned minibus for the journey to UNESCO listed Ephesus ─ widely considered among the most historically important sites in all of Turkey.
On arrival at Ephesus, follow your guide on a tour of the ruins and take in key sites of interest including the Fountain of Trajan, the House of the Virgin Mary, the Library of Celsius, the Roman baths, St. John’s Basilica, the Temple of Artemis, and the Temple of Hadrian.
Along the way, learn of the many faithful pilgrims who once flocked here from across the Mediterranean. Gain insight into the ruins’ rich history, and hear of the powerful emperors and kings who ruled the city.
After a delicious lunch of Turkish specialities such as kebabs from the grill, salads, and seasonal fruits, return to your starting point in Kusadasi to conclude your tour.
