Begin your day with a pickup from your hotel or cruise ship in Kusadası. Meet your guide and driver, and head to your private, air-conditioned vehicle. Start your journey with a mini Turkish breakfast, featuring simit (sesame bread), local cheese, olives, and Turkish tea.

Next, discover the world-famous Ephesus Ancient City, one of the best-preserved archaeological sites. Explore the Celsus Library, the Great Theater, marble streets, Roman baths, temples, and fountains.

Afterward, enjoy two local street food favorites: doner kebab, thinly sliced marinated meat roasted on a vertical spit, and kokorec, a seasoned grilled delicacy chopped with spices. Continue with a short cultural walk in Selcuk. See the Isabey Mosque, an outstanding example of Seljuk architecture, and the St. John Basilica, built on the believed tomb of St. John the Apostle. Next, taste freshly baked Turkish pide (flatbread), often called “Turkish pizza,” with a variety of toppings. No Turkish experience is complete without a cup of traditional Turkish coffee served in a small fincan. Alongside, enjoy your choice of baklava or dondurma (Turkish ice cream) for a perfect finale..

Finally, relax as you are transferred back to your hotel or cruise ship in Kusadası.
