What To Expect

Ancient City of Ephesus

A jewel of ancient civilization, Ephesus ranks among the Mediterranean's most spectacular archaeological sites. This remarkably preserved Greco-Roman city, founded in the 10th century BC, once housed the Temple of Artemis—one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World. Today, visitors can walk marble-paved streets to discover architectural masterpieces like the iconic Library of Celsus, with its impressive two-story facade, and the 25,000-seat Great Theater where St. Paul once preached. The site showcases the grandeur of ancient Roman life through its well-preserved residential houses adorned with frescoes and mosaics, the elegant Temple of Hadrian, and the magnificent Fountain of Trajan. As the former commercial heart of Asia Minor, Ephesus tells a compelling story of human civilization, commerce, and culture. This UNESCO World Heritage site, located just 20 minutes from Kuşadası port, offers cruise visitors an unforgettable journey through one of history's most fascinating cities.

The Temple of Artemis

The Temple of Artemis, one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World, was among history's most magnificent sacred monuments. Built in the 6th century BC and dedicated to the goddess Artemis, this colossal temple was four times larger than the Parthenon in Athens. With 127 marble columns soaring 60 feet high, it dominated Ephesus's skyline and drew pilgrims from across the ancient world. Despite its grandeur, the temple faced multiple destructions, including a famous arson by Herostratus in 356 BC—coincidentally the same night Alexander the Great was born. Though rebuilt even larger, it was later destroyed by the Goths and never regained its former glory. Today, a single reconstructed column marks the temple site, standing as a humble reminder of its lost splendor. Located just minutes from ancient Ephesus, this historically significant site helps visitors imagine one of antiquity's most remarkable architectural achievements.

Isa Bey Mosque

İsa Bey Mosque, built in 1375, exemplifies the finest Seljuk Turkish architecture, strategically positioned between ancient Ephesus and St. John's Basilica. This architectural masterpiece features an asymmetrical design that uniquely blends Seljuk and Ottoman styles, showcasing the sophistication of medieval Islamic architecture. The mosque's two entrance gates display exquisite marble carvings, geometric patterns, and calligraphy. Its serene courtyard leads to a light-filled prayer hall, while ancient columns from Ephesus support the structure—bridging the region's Islamic and Classical heritage. The carved mihrab and remaining minaret (of the original two) demonstrate superior 14th-century craftsmanship. Still serving as an active mosque, İsa Bey offers visitors a compelling glimpse into Anatolia's rich architectural and spiritual legacy, making it an essential stop on any Ephesus tour.
