The 4 City Tours in Kusadasi to Get Booked Early

1.Guided Tour of the Ancient City of Ephesus

★★★★★★★★★★4.7 · 205 reviews · 9 hours · from $117Our pick

Review of the 9-hour Ephesus tour from Izmir, with guided ruins, lunch, Virgin Mary House, Temple of Artemis, and practical tips.

“Alpey was very informative and helpful. He was very knowledgeable and very attentive to his guests. The only downside was if you didn’t opt to go to see the Mother Mary House you had extra time to wait through lunch. My suggestion would be just include this extra site so everyone is accommodated. Charge the difference so nobody has to wait to proceed with the tour.”

See Ephesus, the Virgin Mary’s House, Saint John’s Basilica, and Artemis Temple on a flexible 4-hour cruise port tour.

“This private Ephesus tour delivered everything promised and more. Our guide, Kaya, met us at the port and immediately made us feel like honored guests rather than tourists. The visit to the House of the Virgin Mary was peaceful and deeply moving — the kind of place that stays with you. From there, we explored the ancient city of Ephesus with stops at the Celsus Library, Hadrian’s Temple, and the theater. Kaya’s insights and easy storytelling turned the ruins into a living museum. We ended at the Temple of Artemis, humbled by its place in world history. Timing was perfect, pacing was comfortable, and the hospitality exceptional. If you’re arriving…”
