Travelers who want an archaeological visit from Kusadasi and are comfortable with an outdoor route on original stone and marble surfaces. Ephesus has uneven marble, slopes, steps and exposed sections. The Terrace Houses add covered stairways; disclose mobility limits before confirmation. The listed pickup is Izmir Cruise Port and the full planned service duration is 7–8 hours. Check your exact hotel or port against that pickup scope. For a cruise arrival, send the vessel, port date, arrival and all-aboard times so the route can be checked against the actual call. ## Choose an Ephesus tour around your time and interests Choose a half-day route for the main ancient-city visit, add the House of Virgin Mary for a separate hillside stop, or choose Terrace Houses when the residential complex is a priority. Compare the complete pickup-to-return duration rather than only the time inside Ephesus. A private route is useful when your party needs its own vehicle, a tailored pace or specific stops. Small-group departures can include other travelers. The published product and written confirmation explain the guide arrangement; admission tickets remain a separate decision. Arriving by cruise ship? Send the actual all-aboard time before adding attractions. Staying in Kusadasi? Compare hotel pickup with a multi-day Ephesus and Pamukkale plan. A transport-only Ephesus transfer is available as a separate service. - [Compare private Ephesus options](https://kusadasitravelagency.com/private-tours) - [Ephesus entrance ticket planning](https://kusadasitravelagency.com/guides/ephesus-entrance-tickets-and-planning) - [Kusadasi to Ephesus transport only](https://kusadasitravelagency.com/transfers/kusadasi-to-ephesus-transfer) ## How to request this tour 1.
