About this experience
Hi, my name is Erdem (Adam), and I’ll be your guide for the cat tours. I have been working as a guide here in Kusadasi since 2015. In 2018, I met Garfield near the theatre. He approached me, and we quickly became friends. I named him Garfield, and since then, we have shared a special bond. Three years ago, I created the Instagram page garfield_of_ephesus. The purpose of this page is to raise awareness and do something meaningful for the stray cats in Ephesus. From this idea, we launched the cat tour. Twenty percent of the income from the tours goes toward food for cats and dogs. I also provide some cat food for my guests, so they can share it with the stray cats and enjoy this experience together. Over the years, I’ve named several cats around Ephesus, including Fluffy, Ginger, Mr. Mustache, Sylvester, Olive, and Mr. Crippled. Stores to visit: Carpet Weaving Village Leather Factory

Great Tour of Ephesus with Adam
Adam is a knowledgeable guide and is very enthusiastic about his hometown. The walk through Ephesus was especially charming, and as a bonus to seeing the historic sites, we got to meet the many cats who come running when they see him, including the famous Garfield. Great day!

Fabulous Experience
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Amazing Tour Guide in Kuşadası & Ephesus! We had a wonderful experience with Erdem as our tour guide in Kuşadası, Turkey. He was extremely knowledgeable, friendly, professional, and made the history of Ephesus so interesting and easy to understand. Erdem took great care of us throughout the tour and made sure we were comfortable while showing us the incredible history and culture of the area. His passion and knowledge really brought Ephesus to life! We thoroughly enjoyed our time with him and would highly recommend Erdem to anyone visiting Kuşadası or Ephesus. Thank you, Erdem, for making our visit to Turkey such a memorable experience! 🇹🇷❤️

Adam and ephesus
We greatly enjoyed this tour — and chuckled that in comparing notes with friends on the cruise, they didn’t have nearly the same kind of (awesome ) experiences that we had on the cruise-excursions. Ours was many things merged into one tour (for less), and even our two 18-year olds thought it was fabulous. All stops were truly enjoyed.

Why this scores 78
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
For Cruisers: Garfield & Cats of Ephesus Tour with LUNCH: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Kusadasi.
How much does For Cruisers: Garfield & Cats of Ephesus Tour with LUNCH cost?
+
Prices start at $40 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 For Cruisers: Garfield & Cats of Ephesus Tour with LUNCH take?
+
Plan for about 4 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 For Cruisers: Garfield & Cats of Ephesus Tour with LUNCH worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 78 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 49 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 For Cruisers: Garfield & Cats of Ephesus Tour with LUNCH?
+
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 For Cruisers: Garfield & Cats of Ephesus Tour with LUNCH suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 4-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book For Cruisers: Garfield & Cats of Ephesus Tour with LUNCH?
+
Around 17 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 4-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does For Cruisers: Garfield & Cats of Ephesus Tour with LUNCH 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.
