Private Ephesus Shore Excursion From Kusadasi Port

Customized Private Ephesus & the House of Virgin Mary Tour

4 to 7 hoursFree Cancellation

If there is a place called heaven on earth, Sirince must be a part of paradise. Dido Sotiroyo, one of the famous Greek writer who was born in this village but had to leave at the age of seven after the exchange agreement in 1925, says these words about Sirince. Road to the village through olive and tangerine trees decorated with old Greek houses at the end of winding road and delicious scent of home made wine of grapes welcomes you as a surprise in the beginning of your journey. Despite a century of restoration, the once-great basilica built by Byzantine Emperor Justinian (r 527–565) remains a skeleton of its former self. Nonetheless, it is an atmospheric site with excellent views, and the best place in the area for a sunset photo.

What are people saying about Kusadasi

Abigail_W, Sep 2026

A day we will never forget!

I did not know that I had booked a private tour for the entire day but my gosh! Exceeded our expectations! Tansu was the best guide to show us around her hometown and it was so incredibly special to us to see places where Paul, John, and Mary had walked and lived. A day we will never forget!

Ephesus Private Tour with Lunch!

Ozzy was the best. He was great from the pick up point at the dock and we literally were the very first ones into Ephesus. He gave an incredible and knowledgable tour of the entire place at our pace, we move a little faster. Our excursions was customizable so he took us to an incredible leather store to buy some things and we saw many other sites. The last thing we did was go to a carpet manufacturing area that was great and had a very good lunch outdoors. Could not have asked for a more relaxing tour and great tour guide. Thank you

Absolutely Incredible — The Highlight of Our 7-Day Cruise!

We booked the ALL INCLUSIVE Private Ephesus & The House of Mary & Turkish Lunch tour, and it was absolutely incredible from start to finish! Our driver arrived early, which allowed us to get our day started right away. The van was spotless, comfortable, and the AC was amazing, especially in the heat! Our guide, Tez, was FANTASTIC! He was incredibly knowledgeable, friendly, patient, and so passionate about his country. You could genuinely feel the pride he has for Turkey as he shared its history and culture with us. We learned so much, but it never felt like we were being lectured or overloaded with information. It felt like spending the day with someone who truly loves what he does. We also really appreciated that we were never rushed. Tez gave us time to wander, take pictures, ask questions, and enjoy each site at our own pace. Then came the traditional Turkish lunch, and WOW! The food was phenomenal. Everything was fresh and farm-to-table, and the hospitality was even better. The entire experience felt authentic and personal. We were treated more like family than tourists. The House of the Virgin Mary, Ephesus, the history, the food, and especially Tez made this an unforgettable day. We were on a 7-day cruise with several amazing stops, and this was hands down the BEST experience of our entire cruise. If you are considering this tour, BOOK IT! And if you can request Tez, DO IT! You will not regret it. Thank you, Tez, for such an incredible day and for sharing your beautiful country with us. 🇹🇷❤️

Unforgettable tour of Ephesus with Atalay!

We had an incredible time exploring Ephesus thanks to Atalay K.! He is knowledgeable, friendly, and deeply passionate about sharing the history of the area. He paced the tour perfectly, answered all our questions, and ensured we had a fantastic time from start to finish. Our visit to Kuşadası wouldn't have been the same without him. Highly recommended!

Turkish Bath Service - Hamam Experience in Kusadasi

Marcia_S, Sep 2026

Three friends and I (all...

Three friends and I (all women) booked this as an excursion on our Kusadasi, Turkey port day on our Mediterranean cruise. We were slightly apprehensive on what to expect but were pleasantly surprised by the friendly staff and clean establishment. There was about a 15 minute hot sauna, followed by a cool water rinse. Next there was an invigorating exfoliating process, followed by a light bubble scrub/massage. Then another rinse. This process was included in the price of the excursion. My friends and I all chose to have a Bali masssge afterward and it was wonderful. This was a great roughly 1 hour and a half hour experience. We throughly enjoyed it. One word of advice to other women, don't spend a lot of time on your hair and makeup beforehand. You will get wet. Also, wear a two-piece bathing suit if you choose to get a massage.

Historical Tour of Kusadasi

Gufte was great as our guide. We were able to see House of Mary, the ruins of Ephesus, Ephesus museum, Temple of Artemis, a family owned pottery shop and a shopping center. She was great with explaining the history at each site and giving us as much time as we wanted to explore each area. Her communication was great on where to meet her and what items to bring with us. Other than the heat, it was a great experience!

Port of Kusadasi - private tour, a must

We just spent a wonderful and educational day at the port of Kusadasi with Mel. She was so knowledgeable and pleasant to be around. She truly loves her home town and it shows in how she describes their customs and traditions. Our tour was customized to our interests and her recommendations. We loved having a private guide and not being in a large group. Because of Mel, we are leaving a small part of our heart in Türkiye.

It was a fun experience....

It was a fun experience. Because of recent fires we did not see the monastery or swim in the cave, but the tour guides made the most of the experience. You get to see the mountains of Turkey and swim in the Aegean Sea. You can’t go wrong for the price. Got back to our boat in plenty of time. In fact, a family had to leave early to meet their boat and the host feed them early and took them back in time. Very good tour.

Great tour guide and tour

Tamer was phenomenal as a tour guide. English was great and his knowledge was superb! We were so tired from the past few days excursions so we were worried about a long day and super long lines. Tamer get us past most of the lines and knew the timing of heavy crowds. Definitely recommend the tour and ask for Tamer.

Cem is a gem!

Cem (pronounced “gem”) was an excellent tour guide! He was friendly and knowledgeable. We visited Ephesus and toured the ancient city and terrace houses, which should not be missed! We added a stop at the House of the Virgin Mary, and Cem and the tour company were easy to work with in making the change to the itinerary. We also stopped at the Temple of Artemis and had lunch and a rug tour which was fascinating! We would definitely highly recommend this tour and specifically Cem!

Educational and Engaging Private Ephasus Tour

This was a private tour, making it more engaging and personal. We had our own guide for my husband and I, along with a dedicated driver, making it easier and quicker to navigate the stops at all of the different sites. Olgu was our guide and he was very knowledgeable about the area and especially the history of Mary, John and Paul’s travels through the Ephasus region and about the Ephasus Ruins. Olgu spoke very good English so was easy to understand and ask questions. I highly recommend this tour!

Full-day Pamukkale and Hierapolis Tour from Selcuk or Kusadasi

Sarah_M, Apr 2026

Great day out

A really good day out. A bit of a journey to get there, but went surprisingly quick and well worth it. The guide (Mert, I think, sorry if spelt wrong) was friendly and informative., but also allowed us the time to go where we pleased so that we could choose how we divided our time between Hierapolis and Pammukale springs. We were lucky with the weather which always helps and it wasn't too crowded also. Although we booked the tour for Pammukale, the guide recommended we did The Grand theatre first and that was good advise - great views and v impressive sat at the top. V much worth the walk up the short hill and doing before wet feet of the springs. We recommend this trip and company.
