Amazing FOR CRUISERS: Skip The Lines PRIVATE EPHESUS TOUR
My husband and I had an AMAZING tour with our awesome, knowledgeable and professional guide, Sinem. She met us at the Kusadasi cruise port on time with our driver, Fahrti, in a very comfortable van and took us to see: the Virgin Mary House, a wonderful 2 hour tour of the impressive Ephesus ruins followed by a cool 15 minute Ephesus theater experience. Sinem offered to take pictures of us throughout the points of interest which was a nice bonus. We then had a delicious Turkish feast for lunch at The Golden Fringe and then went to see how the Turkish wool and silk rugs are made and sold while we sipped on Turkish tea. We additionally stopped at leather shops and markets. Admission fees to the ruins & theater were $80 Euro total for the 2 of us. Highly recommend this private tour!!!
