Hello. I am organizing a touring day at Ephesus from our cruise stop on the Koningsdam on October 12. Our ship arrives at 7 AM and departs at 6 PM. The group will have 6-8 adults. We would like to visit the following places: Ephesus, St. Johns Basillica, The House of the Virgin Mary, Temple of Artemis, the Terrace Houses and the Museum. If you have other suggestions please feel free to make them. What would the cost be and what would it include and what would be excluded?
Many thanks!

Good Morning Mr Pekoz,
After reading your dazzling reviews we would like to inquire about a tour from our ship Enchanted Princess, with the Princess line, from Kusadasi. We are 8. Very interested in the historical history and overall area of Ephesus. Docking at 7 am and ship departs at 2 pm. Cost of tour, please, no shopping for us, snack break, but with so little time we want to take advantage of the sights, that we may never see again. If you can give us a run down of the itinerary, please.
Thank you in advance your reply
Carmen

Thank you very much for your inquiry.
It would be our pleasure to be in service to you.

Below please find sugested tour programs and private tour costs:

Kusadasi Tour No:1
Half day (3.5 hours) Tour of Ephesus, Temple of Artemis
Your drive to Ancient Ephesus takes less than 30 minutes. You'll be glad that you took the time to see this magnificent place. Your tour begins with a visit to the Temple of Artemis, one of the Seven Wonders of the ancient world, which Alexander the Great visited in 334 B.C. Your next stop is at Ephesus, one of the most magnificent and best preserved ancient sites in the world. Historians originally believed that Ephesus was founded by the Amazons, but now it's more commonly thought to have been the Hittite city of Apasa. The Virgin Mary is said to have visited the site between 38 and 47 A.D. With your guide, you'll see the Odeon, where the advisory council held its meetings, and the baths, as well as many other columns, monuments, and ruins, including the Celsus Library, whose facade has been carefully reconstructed from all original pieces. We'll also see the Grand Theater, with a seating capacity of 24,000 people. You'll be brought back to your cruise ship or your hotel in Kusadasi at the conclusion of this fascinating tour. On your return trip to Kusadasi, enjoy the scenery or a shopping opportunity, if time permits.

Kusadasi Tour No:2
Half-day (4.5 hours) Temple of Artemis, Ephesus, House of Mary
You will meet your official tour guide at the Kusadasi cruise port or at your hotel in Kusadasi. After a 25-minute drive through the olive groves, peach orchards and cotton fields. Arrive in Selcuk, where the House of Virgin Mary and the Roman city of Ephesus are located. Your first stop on this fascinating tour is the House of Virgin Mary, a Christian shrine in the vicinity of Ephesus. Some Christians and Muslims believe that Mary, the mother of Jesus, was taken to this stone house by St. John following the crucifixion of Jesus. Roman Catholics believe that she lived there until her assumption into heaven. Other denominations of Christians recognize this spot as her burial place.
Now continue on to the ancient city of Ephesus, one of the most magnificent and best preserved sites of Roman history in the world. Ephesus was once the capital of Asia Minor, and it is here that St. Paul spent three years teaching Christianity. Tour the ancient town, visiting the Fountain of Trajan, Temple of Hadrian, Celsus Library, the Marble Road, and the Roman theater that is mentioned in the Acts of Apostles Chapter 19.
* For travelers who do not want to visit House of Virgin Mary. House of Virgin Mary visit can be substituted with Basilica of St. John or Archaeological Museum of Ephesus.
