Ephesus Ruins Of The Ancient World - Kusadasi Turkey Excursion From Cruise Ship Terminal In Kusadasi

Описание: Ephesus Turkey / Kusadasi Turkey Excursion To Ancient Ruins

Ephesus is considered to be the most important Archaeological Site in Turkey. Founded over 3,000 years ago, Ephesus has a long history of invasions and disasters it has survived but what finally put an end to this once great city of the Ancient World is shallow water when the river and port silted up. Now the nearest port is over 6 miles away.

Ephesus was also home to one of the 7 Wonders of the Ancient World, the temple of Dianna, said to rival the Hanging Gardens of Babylon and the Great Pyramids in Egypt.
Today Ephesus is a popular cruise port destination for major cruise lines with the greatest attractions being the ruins of Ephesus and the Virgin Mary's home purported to be where the Virgin Mary spent the remainder of her years. If you're going to Mary's House in hopes of seeing Jesus' old room you may be disappointed but still the stone cottage is well worth a visit. As part of the tour you are given a souvenir vessel to fill with water from the springs that still run outside the Ancient cottage.

The port of Kusadasi where the cruise ships stop is a modern and lively seaside resort with numerous restaurants, shops and attractions along the waterfront. Having never been to Turkey, we didn't know what to expect but we came away very impressed with everything we saw. Kusadasi is very clean, friendly and we only wished we had more time to enjoy the city.
