Built and extended between the 14th and 18th centuries, picturesque Kusadasi Castle sits on Pigeon Island (Guvercin Adasa), an islet connected to Kusadasi via a causeway. Originally constructed as a military base, the fortress is composed of outer walls that enclose its gardens and an inner castle with a tiny museum.

This tour was amazing! We had the best tour guide, Ali, and he took us to all the best spots in and around Ephesus. St John’s Basilica, ruins of Ephesus, and the temple of Artemis just to name a few. He was extremely nice and very knowledgeable about it all. The Turkish lunch was an added extra and it was DELICIOUS! The absolute sweetest watermelon ever. And he has us back at our cruise boat with plenty of time to spare. I would highly recommend this tour from this tour company!
Our guide Leyla was great. She was informative and passionate about sharing her country. She was flexible and catered to our choices. Highly recommend this tour
Take this tour if you have never been here, it was our 4th time and would have loved to see things other that the top 3 , I was looking for things off the beaten path… overall it was flexible based on the set menu of things
Fatima and Ismael communicated beautifully and offered the BEST tour I have ever been on. Thier passion and love for guests and their culture shines through. Absolute angels who have truly found their calling.
Fatima our guide & Ismail our driver were the perfect start to a wonderful adventure of enjoying the best of Kusadasi.
We were met at our cruise port with a sign with our name. We were shuttled in a very comfortable van.
This was a private tour, just my family of 5. We did not have to wear those silly headsets. We could ask questions and hear everything!
We learned a lot about Turkey, the Ephesus region and Fatima was a local and knew so much.
We also were taken to a wonderful culinary school where we had the most delicious authentic Turkish selections. And some wine!
If you decide to choose Kusadasi for your destination, do not feel stressed. Just take this one!!!
Thank you Fatima & Ismail for a wonderful adventure! Good luck on your trip to visit the USA!
