For Cruise Passengers: Our guide will be waiting for you at the Kusadasi Port passenger exit gate, holding a sign with your name on it.

  2. Step back in time and walk the marble streets of one of the best-preserved ancient cities in the world. You will see the magnificent Celsus Library, the Grand Theatre, the Temple of Hadrian, and the Odeon. Our guide will share the fascinating history of Roman life here.

  3. A short photo stop at the site of one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World. Although only a single column remains, the history and the view of the Basilica of St. John in the background are breathtaking.

  4. Turkish Heritage Experience (Promo Stop) This special promo tour is culturally sponsored! We conclude our day with a comprehensive Turkish Heritage Experience. First, witness a fascinating traditional carpet weaving demonstration, seeing how silk is extracted and woven into masterpieces. Then, enjoy a fun and brief private fashion show featuring Turkey’s world-famous high-quality leather. Enjoy complimentary Turkish tea throughout this cultural break.

  5. A short, scenic drive up Bulbul Mountain takes us to the humble stone house where the Virgin Mary is believed to have spent her final days. A peaceful and spiritual start to your day before the crowds arrive. (Entrance fee is excluded, payable at the gate).

  6. Take a relaxing midday break to experience the rich heritage of Turkish culture. Watch skilled local artisans demonstrate the centuries-old art of traditional carpet weaving. You will also have free time to explore the gallery and shop for unique, handcrafted pieces in a completely relaxed, no-pressure environment.

  7. After a perfect mix of ancient history, spirituality, and modern culture, we guarantee to drop you off at your ship with plenty of time before your departure.
