Private VIP shore excursion from Kuşadası to Ephesus with lunch, entrance fees, and optional stops like Mary’s House and St John Basilica.
“This tour was everything we were looking for and more. We chose this one because it had lunch included and stopped at St. John Basilica (in addition to house of Mary and Ephesus). We had a really good traditional Turkish lunch in a great outdoor atmosphere. It included an interesting rug making demonstration at the end along with a sales pitch but it wasn’t overly pushy. St John Basilica was interesting and the site gives you a beautiful view of the area and overlooks the Temple of Artemis site. I wouldn’t bother stopping at the Temple of Artemis since there is not much left to see. We contemplated skipping House…”
