Uncover the wonders of antiquity with the Private Ephesus Tour from Kusadasi Port, a full-day journey through one of the world’s most storied archaeological sites. Ephesus, the largest open-air museum in Turkey, boasts more than 30 ancient structures, all connected by original stone streets still etched with chariot wheel marks.
Your knowledgeable guide will lead you through iconic landmarks such as the Great Theatre—where St. Paul once delivered passionate sermons—the beautifully restored Library of Celsus, the grand Temple of Hadrian, and the Roman Baths. Each step offers a window into the daily life and grandeur of this ancient city.
After exploring Ephesus, your trip continues with a visit to the Church of the Virgin Mary, a site of deep spiritual significance where tradition holds that Mary spent her final days.
