From Kusadasi cruise port or a listed hotel, your private English-speaking guide takes you to Ephesus, a Turkish lunch, and Ada Saray Hamami. Guides such as Seyhan, Fusun, Mel, and Gozde have led past departures. Expect flexible timing, air-conditioned transport, and extra charges for Ephesus entry and the hammam.

“We started off getting picked up by a very nice luxury van. Our guide Seyhan took us to try some tea and treats at a local shop. There was no pressure to buy anything. Next, we went to Ephesus where Seyhan gave us a great tour. We then visited the remains of the Temple of Artimis before heading to lunch. Lunch was on a quaint farm and a very good three-course meal. There was too much food for just two of us, but it was all very yummy. We watched a demonstration about how the carpets were made inside the carpet shop and again, there was no pressure to buy.…”

It was comfortable and very relaxing. The spa was clean and only a short ride from the port. Bring a swimsuit or garments you don’t mind getting wet if you are on the modest side. I 100% recommend this authentic Turkish experience!”

“We booked this excursion for our cruise stop specifically to experience a Turkish bath and man, it did not disappoint! They even opened early to accommodate our port time. Our guide was extremely knowledgeable about Ephesus and did a full guided tour for us. The ruins were extremely impressive and without a guide, we would not have understood the magnitude of what we were experiencing.”
