After disembarkation from the ship at the port of Kusadasi, the guests will get on the 13 seater minibus  with their guide at the bus parking terminal.

 

The drive from Kusadasi to the ancient city of Ephesus will take roughly 20 minutes. During the 20 minutes' drive to Ephesus, the guide will be giving pre-information about “Ephesus”. When the minibus arrives at the Magnesia gate, the guide will give a restroom break to the guests before they start visiting the ancient city. 

 

Ephesus: The best-preserved ancient site in the world, which extends back into the third millennium B.C., Ephesus was one the most important centers of antiquity. The harbor city Ephesus was the point of departure for the famous royal highway that led through Sardis into Lydia. Because of its location, Ephesus developed into an important political and economic center, and became the capital city of the Roman province of Asia. 

 

The remains of this important Ionian city are standing miraculously today, vivid witnesses of a glorious past. Among the well-preserved ruins, the Theater, the Hadrian Gate, the Celsius Library, the Street of the Curetes, the Fountain of Trojan, and the Odeon are the most remarkable.  After visiting all the terraces houses where the aristocrats lived in the ancient city, the guests will proceed to the bottom gate to be able to get on the minibus at the lower bus parking area.

 

Then the bus will depart from the parking zone to Kusadasi. Upon arrival to Kusadasi, the minibus will stop in front of the terminal for shopping or bring the guests directly back to the ship.
