The Temple of Artemis
Dating back to 6th Century B.C, and also known as one of the Seven Ancient Wonders of the world, is The Temple of Artemis. Built by the Lycian King, Kreisos, you will get to marvel at the large marble foundations still standing in the surrounding swamp lands. You can witness the craftsmanship with the stone carvings and wonder what an amazing sight this must have been in its day. A lot of the ruins are now housed in the London British Museum.

Bibliotheque de Celsus
the impressive Celsius Library that once used to house over 12,000 scrolls. Whilst at Ephesus you will also get to visit the Terrace Houses. These were the houses of the rich and famous of their time.

Ephesus Terrace Houses
The houses had heated flooring and their own private hamaam baths in them, making them as luxurious as any home you would live in today. The houses were decorated with ornate tiling and mosaic flooring that have been well excavated for you to enjoy.

The House of the Virgin Mary
Not too far away from Ephesus, upon a hilltop offering fantastic panoramic views over the area, sits the House of the Virgin Mary. Said to be the house in which she spent the last of her years, it has now become quite the pilgrimage sight for people from all walks of life. It is rumored that John the Baptist was also here, as it is believed he was the one who brought Mary to this house to see out her years.

Basilica of St. John
Other saints are believed to have spent time in this area, with the Basilica of St John said to be built upon the remains of John the Apostle. The church was built back in 548 and was finished 17 years later in 565. Its architecture has been styled upon the Church of the Holy Apostles in Istanbul. For its time, it was known as one of the holiest churches of the region.

Ayasoluk Castle
Sitting above the Basilica of St John is the ruined Selcuk Ottoman Castle. As it is the highest point that overlooks all of Selcuk, the views are amazing. You will have a quick stop here to grab your photos of the amazing historical lands that lie beneath it.

Kusadasi Castle
Last on our agenda is heading back to Kusadasi to take in the sunset from Pigeon Island. A true symbol of the town, the island juts out into the ocean and has an ancient Byzantine Castle sitting upon it. The castle has a museum inside, but taking the time out to just enjoy the views looking back over Kusadasi makes the last stop of the day well worth it.

Why this scores 55
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Ephesus Full-Day Sightseeing Tour from Kusadasi with Pickup: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Kusadasi.
How much does Ephesus Full-Day Sightseeing Tour from Kusadasi with Pickup cost?
+
Prices start at $99 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Kusadasi usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Ephesus Full-Day Sightseeing Tour from Kusadasi with Pickup take?
+
Plan for about 8 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Kusadasi is not rushed.
Is Ephesus Full-Day Sightseeing Tour from Kusadasi with Pickup worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 55 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (0/5 across 0 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Kusadasi, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Ephesus Full-Day Sightseeing Tour from Kusadasi with Pickup?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Ephesus Full-Day Sightseeing Tour from Kusadasi with Pickup suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 8-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Ephesus Full-Day Sightseeing Tour from Kusadasi with Pickup?
+
Around 0 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Kusadasi can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Kusadasi and add a light layer if any part of the 8-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Ephesus Full-Day Sightseeing Tour from Kusadasi with Pickup start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Kusadasi within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Kusadasi?
+
On Outty we rank every Kusadasi experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include FOR CRUISERS: Ephesus & Virgin Mary Tour with ENTRY TICKET+LUNCH, Ephesus Temple of Artemis and House of Mary Private Half Day Tour, Ephesus and Temple of Artemis Private Tour from Kusadasi Port. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Kusadasi?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Kusadasi?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
