Ephesus Shore Excursion - We came Kusadasi last month with cruise just to see Ephesus and we absolutely fall in love with Ephesus! Great history and marvelous architecture. We also visited the Temple of Artemis, the House of the Virgin Mary and St. John Basilica. It was magical! Our tour guide was Baris Tabak, he was very kind and helpful. We had great time thanks to Turkey Tours Company.
