Planning a shore excursion to Ephesus? As a local travel agency based right next to the Ephesus ancient city, we have answered the most frequently asked questions by our cruise guests.

The distance between Kusadasi Cruise Port and the Ancient City of Ephesus is approximately 18 km (11 miles). The drive takes about 20-25 minutes with our private A/C vehicles.

Meeting your guide is simple! Your private guide will be waiting for you at the Starbucks inside Kusadasi Port, holding a sign with your name on it.

Since this is a private tour, the duration is completely up to you and your ship's schedule! A standard "Best of Ephesus" tour, including visits to Ephesus Ancient City, the Terrace Houses, the House of the Virgin Mary and the Temple of Artemis, typically takes about 4-6 hours, excluding lunch. If you prefer less walking, we can arrange a 4-5 hour "Easy Ephesus Tour" (Not Rushed), or if you'd like to see more attractions such as Sirince Village, Ephesus Archaeological Museum, or the Basilica of St. John, we can extend the tour to 7-8 hours. We guarantee on-time return to our cruise passengers to their ship in all cases.
