Make the difference between a good trip and an outstanding one !
Can’t say enough about this place. It is heaven for retirees who don’t want to sit in a rocking chair all day. The place must be good since their best sales people are the residents themselves.
I know, this all sounds too good to be true. If you don’t believe it, just take the time for one simple visit and you will be hooked.
Worth taking.
A great way to spend a couple of hours wandering through a small village in the mountains. Kirazli village (by law) is unchanged. Old wood and stucco houses , cobble stone streets, old Mosques. If you want to get away from the world, this is a good place to come.
I sent emails asking for prices and options to create a private tour for our shore excursion. I was able to take a standard tour and customize it and it was less than half the price of the group tour shore excursion offered by our cruise. We met our private guide and driver as soon as we got off the ship. We first started with a drive out to the Virgin Mary’s House. Along the drive, we learned some interesting facts about the region and Turkey in general. Then, we reached Mary’s house and toured the site very interesting. Then it was off to Ephesus where we had a leisurely and informative tour through the amazing ruins. Make sure to get the added tour of the terrace houses. This is the most well preserved ancient ruins ever discovered.
Then it was off to St John’s Basilica and the Temple of Artimis to finish the tour. The tour was incredible and a highlight of our trip. I would highly recommend this private tour the price was very reasonable.
Nuestro guía turístico nos ha llevado a Éfeso y la Casa de la Virgen María. Nuestro guía era muy conocedor y dispuestos a explicar la vida en Turquía. Disfrutamos de la comida y la vistas que hicimos en el lugar …
a very enjoyable half day,would not hesitate to recommend this tour.
lo que mas me llamo la atencion fue la vida nocturna en la isla de kusadasi me fascino todo lindo y barato ademas del tour que nos cojimos por la manana tambien nos alcanzo para la noche geniallllllll
Para mi lo mas importante en un viaje es la comodidad, en este tour privado lo encontre y a un nivel mucho mas alto de lo que me esperaba realmente el guia un amor de persona, la pasciencia que nos entrego fue maravillosa y nos explico todo y ademas en espanol ya saben que no en todos los paises se entrega este tipo de servicios pero aca si que la hay y en casi todos los idiomas. Espero sinceramente que algun dia vayan y veran que no se arrepentiran..
Instead of taking the ships tour we booked a private tour and it was a great day.
This is the perfect amount of time to see everything at Ephesus, especially with small kids.
