Frequently asked questions
Is this excursion right for my port call?
It is designed for ships docked in Kuşadası for most of the day: you meet at the port at 09:30 and are back at 15:30. Meeting times can shift with your ship’s arrival, and the operator guarantees a timely return to the port.
How big is the group?
It is a shared group tour that can take up to 45 people. If you prefer a smaller group or your own guide, look at the private shore excursion instead.
Is lunch included in the full-day shore excursion?
Yes, a Turkish lunch is included, along with the port meeting, transport and a licensed guide. Entrance fees are paid separately.
Can I do this excursion if my ship docks for a shorter time?
If you have less than about seven hours in port, the half-day Ephesus shore excursion (4 hours) is the safer choice.
