Hello from Ephesus / Kusadasi My name is Erkan who is an official licenced tourist guide living and working in Kusadasi / Ephesus. Come and be my guest to the city that I love. I have been practising guiding since 2010, working with cruise ships, college students, V. I. P. s, incentive tours, tourist agencies and individual travellers. If you join one of my tours, we can share a real travelling experience, visit the archaeological sites and museums, learn about the history and culture of Turkey, discover all the hidden treasures of Ephesus Ancient City, taste the local cuisine, meet the locals and above all have fun. Just let me show you Ephesus through my eyes. You can browse my tours or together we create your own customized tour. I am looking forward to meeting you and showing you my lovely country. I promise you an authentic and most enjoyable tour!! It is always a great pleasure and a privilege to show my country and especially Ephesus, my home city, to all visitors! Your Sincerely, Erkan IMPORTANT NOTE FOR CRUISE GUESTS : I highly recommend you to meet after 30 / 45 minutes the ship docked to port in order to beat crowds from cruise ships, school buses and hot weather. NOTE : I DO NOT GIVE TOURS FROM IZMIR - Professional Licensed Tour Guide - Member of Union of Tourist Guides' Chambers - We have a family tour company ONBOARD TRAVEL ( Tursab No 9293 ) and I give all my tours by our company.

Overview of your Kusadasi tour
This tour is an alternative tour which was created for Jews. Actually, there are not Jewish sights around Ephesus. But in this tour we can visit the other sights instead of Christian sights around Ephesus as House of Virgin Mary and Saint John Church. I will meet you at port, short drive to Ephesus Ancient City. We will start our tour from upper gate, walk down and see Odeon, Temples, Celcius Library; Amphitheatre where is one of the biggest amphitheatre in the world with 25. 000 people capacity and St. Paul preached; Roman Baths ; Fountains; Temples; Agora; Love House; Public Toilets. If you wish, we can visit Terrace Houses that are for wealthy people. After Ephesus, we can visit Ephesus Archaeology Museum that you can see many foundations ( as coins, mosaics, statues, furnitures, etc. ) If you do not want to visit a museum, we can visit lovely Sirince Village instead of museum. Then we will visit Temple of Artemis which is one of the seven wonders of Ancient time NOTE : I DO NOT GIVE TOURS FROM IZMIR

While the sites and places you visit are standard Erkan brings a personal experience and insight that makes the tour special. She is attentive to your wants and answers all questions honestly and without hesitation and gives you an insight you would not otherwise have about Turkey
Lawrence H.United States
Great tour. She was on time with a nice vehicle and gave us many options for the day. Our entire family enjoyed seeing the sites with her. Her English was excellent. Thank you!
Janet G.United States
Erkan was an exceptional tour guide. She treated us to a day of knowledge, food and fun. We visited Ephesus. Erkan knew about everything there. It was amazing. Then we visited a pottery maker and watched a demonstration followed by a visit to the temple of Artemis, again amazing . This was followed by a traditional lunch. Finally, a visit to the hand made rug school which we all enjoyed. The day was ours to design based on magnificent suggestions. Again, I highly recommend this wonderful guide

Transport details
Type: Private Transportation / Category: Van
Ephesus Ancient City is far to Kusadasi Port around 15 miles. That's why we will need a van which I will arrange for you according to the size of your group. It will be an air-conditioned van with a driver. I can arrange a bigger vehicle if you are more than 10 people.
