# Ilma Kusadasi shore excursions Source: https://kusadasitravelagency.com/cruise-ships/ilma-kusadasi-shore-excursions Language: English Ilma guests can request a yacht-scale private day that prioritizes detailed guiding, a measured pace and only the Ephesus-area stops they value. The current call still determines what is workable. Independent local planning, not affiliated with The Ritz-Carlton Yacht Collection. Ege Port says schedules may change for weather or operational reasons; use the live times for your sailing: [official Kusadasi Cruise Port schedule](https://kusadasicruiseport.com/schedule/). ## Plan for this ship, not an anonymous port day A tailored service is defined by confirmed details rather than labels: vehicle class, licensed guide, admissions, pickup and return should all appear in the written offer. ## Choose a route that protects Ephesus Ephesus and Terrace Houses suits a detailed heritage day. Ephesus with Virgin Mary creates a broader two-site plan, while Sirince is best used as an intentional alternative extension. - [Focused Ephesus half-day tour](https://kusadasitravelagency.com/tours/ephesus-essentials) - [Ephesus and Terrace Houses](https://kusadasitravelagency.com/tours/ephesus-terrace-houses) - [Ephesus and House of the Virgin Mary](https://kusadasitravelagency.com/tours/ephesus-virgin-mary) - [Build a private Ephesus route](https://kusadasitravelagency.com/private-tours/build-your-ephesus-tour) ## Work backwards from all aboard Current arrival, clearance and all aboard are assessed with site opening hours. A longer port stay does not guarantee access after official closing. ## Use a written Kusadasi port meeting point The confirmation provides the exact terminal exit, time, local contact and expected vehicle. Requested premium features are included only when named. ## What fits a Ilma call in Kusadasi Planning allows 60 minutes to clear the terminal and 90 minutes back at the ship before all aboard. Measure your own call from the arrival and all-aboard times printed in the daily programme — with a 6-hour day ashore there is already a workable Kusadasi route. - [Private Kusadasi City & Pigeon Island Tour](https://kusadasitravelagency.com/tours/private-kusadasi-city-pigeon-island) (Private): 3–3.5 hours; port day needed: 6 hours or more; price on request.

Send the request with your real times and the local team either shortens the route, moves you to a private vehicle that saves loading time, or tells you it will not work before anything is confirmed. ## Ilma planning questions ### Can Ilma guests arrange an exclusive vehicle and guide? Yes, subject to availability. Both should be named in the written confirmation before the service is treated as secured. ### Can the route be entirely archaeology focused? Yes. Prioritize Ephesus and Terrace Houses and state that no unrequested shopping stops should be added. ### How is the return planned? Operations works backwards from the current all-aboard instruction and includes road and port-entry margin. ## Send the Ilma times once Add port date, arrival, all aboard, party size and pickup preference; the local team checks a workable route before confirmation.
