Start with pickup at your cruise port or hotel (exact departure time depends on your schedule, and will be determined after booking), then travel to the ancient city of Ephesus. See the highlights of the UNESCO-listed archeological site, from the Library of Celsus to the amphitheater and Roman baths. At Ephesus and throughout the day, take advantage of this private tour to set your own pace while exploring, with plenty of time to see the things that interest you most.
Following your time at Ephesus, continue into the countryside, where you’ll visit a local winery. Sit down for a guided tasting of their bottles (wine tasting is at your own expense and costs USD $10), sampling everything from chardonnay and shiraz to merlot and cabernet sauvignon. If desired, you’ll also have the chance to watch a presentation on the history and production of Turkish carpets. This tour concludes with return transfer to your Kusadasi hotel or cruise port.
