From sipping tea on a balcony with pool views to roasting vegetables over wood fire, every moment feels like a family gathering. As your host says, “These aren’t just recipes — they’re memories.” It’s a chance to slow down, savor tradition, and connect with the heart of Aegean home life.

What are people saying about Kusadasi

Lauren_D, Jun 2026

Amazing Ephesus excursion!

We had an amazing time on our Ephesus tour! Our tour guide’s name was Fatima, and she was extremely knowledgeable and kind. She was easy to find at the port and had great communication prior to meeting. She brought us through key areas of Turkey including the Ephesus ancient ruins, The House of Mary, a Turkish carpet store, and a Turkish leather store (featuring a fashion show!). We had a delicious local lunch (not included in the price of the excursion), but she carved out time in the tour to eat. The van was clean, spacious, and air conditioned. We did not have to worry about making it back to the ship on time as she gave an hour of wiggle room. Our tour lasted approx from 9:30am-5:30pm.

Fantastic way to see the area

We had a fantastic day with Leyla and our driver Yasar, visiting Ephesus, with a stop at a carpet shop, lunch, and ceramic store. Leyla was a fantastic guide, and we learned so much about Turkey. We were a family of three, with a six year old, and this was definitely the best way to see Kusadasi and Ephesus!

An Awesome Tour

We had a wonderful Ephesus tour and lunch experience through Turquesa Tours. Very professionally run. Loved the WhatsApp message to remind us of the tour, person to contact when we walk out of the cruise terminal if we don’t see our names/tour guide and also allowing us to communicate with them efficiently. Our guide, Ibrahim Battal, was absolutely amazing. He was warm, friendly, and incredibly knowledgeable, bringing the history of Ephesus to life with fascinating insights and engaging stories. As a person born in Selcuk, his passion for the region and attention to detail made the tour both educational and enjoyable. Our driver, Ismail Sonmez, was equally excellent. He was friendly, patient, and professional throughout the day. We always felt safe and comfortable as he drove us between sites, and his courteous manner added to the overall positive experience. The lunch was also very enjoyable and complemented a fantastic day of sightseeing. We highly recommend this tour and would like to thank both Ibrahim and Ismail for making our visit to Ephesus so memorable. Five stars!

Incredible Time Exploring Kusadasi

Absolutely incredible day spent exploring Kusadasi with our own guide. Huseyin was great and very informative! Being able to find our guide and get out of the crowds when we got off the cruise ship was key. The tour came with a guide and driver which was very nice. Ephesus is a must visit and a private tour makes it that much better, well worth the price. We enjoyed the carpet and leather factory just be clear if you’re not interested in purchasing. Overall a really great day and one of our favorite port stops! Couldn’t recommend this tour more!

Our guide Pinar...

Our guide Pinar Sezer-Ulpinar was EXCEPTIONAL!! She provided a thorough tour of all of ruins on our tour, visits to jewelry shops, and a leather store where my wife got to be part of a rode runway show! (Of course we couldn't walk out empty handed!) The leather goods there are amazing; soft and light. Next was a delicious lunch in a beautiful garden nezt to a place where local artisans craft handmade Turkish rugs. I'd also like to add, and thank Pilar and our driver for finding a local phone repair shop for is where they were able to fix my phone in record time while we were on our tour, before we had to head to our cruise ship. If you're looking for an incredible tour, book Pilar! She'll make sure you go home with terrific memories of Kushidasi!

Cindy_C, Jun 2026

Thankful we did this private tour

Wonderful day exploring, hitting the main historical sites. We included Terrace Houses and this should not be missed. The Van was large, clean and comfortable - almost like a limo the way the inside was set up (2 bench seats facing each other). Our guide (Genk) was interesting, personable and informative. So much depends on the guide and we had the pleasure of sharing the day with a great one. Driver was also very good. We saw many groups of 20, 30 or more and we were thankful we booked a private tour. Genk knew how to plan the visit to stay ahead of or away from the larger groups. We compared our price to those on our cruise ship (who booked a 30+ person bus tour) and the prices were practically the same, which is crazy. Go with the private tour (ask for Genk) and you will be happier than a big group.

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!

Stop and book this now! So good!

Mary's home and Ephesus are must see if youre traveling to the area. To have a personal guide through it was absolutely amazing. Adam was a wealth of knowledge and kept us entertained as well. We really enjoyed going to the carpet making school & of course had to buy one too! Our driver and Adam were kind enough to take us to an extra place where we loaded up on Turkish delight. I thoroughly enjoyed this trip!
