Overview

After meeting with your tour guide at the port of Kusadasi, we will have a 20-minute scenic drive to Ephesus area. We will start visiting one of the main highlights in Turkey, Ephesus, one of the 12 cities of Ionian League (an ancient Greek district on the western coast of Asia Minor).

Your guide will walk you through this amazing site and will point out the most historic interests of this breath-taking ancient city, such as:

The baths of Scholastica
The Library of Celsus
Grand Theatre
Temple of Hadrian

At the end of the tour of Ephesus you will be given free time to souvenir shop or to use the restrooms before commencing the tour to St Johns Basilica.

St Johns Basilica is believed to be where the evangelist St John had spent his last years in the region around Ephesus and buried in the southern slope of Ayosolug Hill.

At St Johns Basilica your guide will take you around this small site where you will be able to learn about the history from your guide. During the visit of St Johns there will be plenty of time for photo opportunities with some amazing sights across Ephesus.

After leaving St Johns Basilica the tour will continue to one of the seven wonders of the ancient world, the famous Artemis Temple. Here the tour will stop so you will be able to stop for photo opportunities before returning back to the cruise port in plenty of time for your cruise ships departure.
