Discover the Magic of Ephesus – Private Ephesus & Virgin Mary House Tours from Kusadasi Port

Explore the Wonders of Ancient Ephesus

If your cruise is docking at Kusadasi Port, you’re in for a journey through history, culture, and timeless beauty. Our Private Ephesus Tours by Sea Drop Travel offer an unforgettable day exploring one of the most impressive ancient cities in the world — Ephesus.

From the moment you step off your ship, your professional English-speaking guide will be waiting for you right at the arrival gate of Kusadasi Port, holding a sign with your name. You’ll travel in comfort with a private deluxe vehicle and enjoy the flexibility to explore at your own pace — no rush, no big groups, just your family and friends.

What You’ll Experience

Your day begins with a scenic drive to Ephesus, one of the greatest archaeological sites of the ancient world. Walk along the marble-paved streets where philosophers once debated and merchants traded.

Highlights include:

• The Library of Celsus – one of the most photographed landmarks in Turkey.

• The Grand Theater – seating 25,000 spectators, still hosting performances today.

• The Temple of Hadrian – dedicated to the Roman emperor, showcasing stunning reliefs.

• The Odeon and Roman Baths – giving insight into daily life in the Roman Empire.

Every step reveals another layer of ancient civilization — Ephesus was once the “New York City” of the ancient Mediterranean.

Visit the Virgin Mary’s House

No Ephesus tour is complete without visiting the House of the Virgin Mary, located on the lush slopes of Mount Koressos. Believed to be the final home of the Virgin Mary, this serene place attracts pilgrims from all over the world — including several popes. The peaceful atmosphere, surrounded by nature, makes it one of the most spiritual stops in Turkey.

Traditional Turkish Lunch & Local Experiences

After exploring the ruins, enjoy a traditional Turkish lunch at a local restaurant.
You’ll also visit a handicraft cooperative, where you can learn about Turkish carpets, leather jackets, and fine jewelry — directly from local artisans.

These cultural visits are completely optional, but many guests find them fascinating and a great opportunity to take home authentic souvenirs.

Optional Turkish Bath Experience

If you’ve never experienced a Turkish Bath (Hammam) before, this is the perfect time!
Relax and refresh after your day with a centuries-old wellness ritual. Packages range from €40 to €150 depending on your preference. Note: Turkish Baths accept cash only.
