Overview of your Kusadasi tour
I have been liing around Ephesus for almost 30 years. I settled here for my education and loved to live in rest of my life. It is such a great location that the origin of Mithology, Maths, Astrnomy, Sports and etc were born in these lands. I am sure you will enjoy your private guided tour of Ephesus. If you have any specific questions or interest, please feel free to send me a message. I can customize the tour for you! PRIVATE EPHESUS TOUR is a historical activity with a lot of BIBLICAL references. This is where VIRGIN MARY is believed to live with SAINT JOHN, the Apostle. It is one of the best preserved ancient sites in the World. TEMPLE OF ARTEMIS, One of the seven wonders of the World, was built here. While you are touring, you will feel the past by all means with TURKISH CULTURE. As a cruiser, your ship is most probably docking at Istanbul port as well. So we combine both Kusadasi?Izmir and Istanbul shore excursions in one booking.
