Itinerary
- 1When your cruise ship docks in Kusadasi, join up with your private guide at the port and board an air-conditioned minivan. Then, hear about Turkey’s fascinating ancient history from your guide on route to your first stop. After roughly one hour, arrive at Miletus, one of the most important of ancient Greco-Roman cities. Set on the mouth of the River Meander, it boasted four coastal harbors and only declined in the 6th century AD when the river silted up. See its Delphinium temple, bathhouses and other monuments, including the impressive Theater of Miletus, where 25,000 spectators once gathered to watch gladiatoral contests. Continue to Didyma to admire its magnificent Temple of Apollo. Regarded as second only to Delphi, this massive Greek-era temple was the seat of a revered oracle. Stroll around the remaining columns and behold the carved head of Medusa that dominates the entrance as your guide helps you visualize the beauty of the temple at its height. After a break for lunch (own expense), visit Ephesus, probably Turkey’s most spectacular archeological site. Head inside this Greco-Roman city via its Magnesia Gate and on your 2.5-hour tour, hear how it flourished as the Roman Empire's capital in Asia Minor. Walk the marble-paved streets past shops, houses and baths, and see the Odeon, Fountain of Trajan and Temple of Hadrian. Gaze at the stunning Library of Celsus and the 24,000-seater Great Theatre, where St Paul once preached. Having explored Ephesus, return to Kusadasi cruise port, where your tour concludes.
About the operator
Don’t take it from us – here’s what people have to say about this operator:
- M1484RBelizabethd0 contributionsSuperb TurkeyOur tour guide was Fatih Karci who expertly managed our 11 person tour to great effect. We have one difficult member of the tour who challenged Fatih on a daily basis and appeared intent on disrupting the group.He managed this person with aplomb and skill and the rest of us had uninterrupted touring pleasure. I commend him on his professionalism and recommend him to you if you have a choice. We were entertained and educated and always amused. Thank you Fatih. Both you and Turkey exceeded our expectations.Written October 7, 2024

- Pendavie0 contributionsClassic Turkey tour with FezExcellent tour with Fez. With good hotels, guide and driver. Tamer could not have done anymore than he did to make this trip as enjoyable and interesting as it was. He seemed to balance the amount of information and time at each destination perfectly. He certainly knew his history and showed real enthusiasm sharing the details with us. He also was very keen to introduce the group to the delights of the different local dishes and gave us tips on what was good to eat. Murat was an excellent driver and gave us confidence in his ability to get us safely to each destination. I will review the hotels separately.Written October 6, 2024

We went hot air ballooning, over the fairy chimneys in Cappadocia, with about 150 other balloons. Perfect weather and such amazing scenery!! I can't speak highly enough about our guide,G, he is very organized, caring & very knowledgeable. Nothing was to much for him. He also organized flights and transfers from Cappadocia to Istanbul, avoiding a long bus trip back, we would highly recommend doing this option. Rob BWritten September 28, 2024
