Didn't like this port of call no sooner had we disembarked the ship, we were hounded from shop owners trying to sell us things and very rude to you when you said you weren't interested, this was not a very pleasant experience, we should have been allowed to browse at our own leisure without being harassed all the time. ...
This is certainly a place for the ladies. Lots and lots of shops. Jewellery seems to be the most popular of the shops. Ladies clothing out of date and boring, but men;s fashion much more current. Most shop keepers speak very good English. Bartering seems to be necessary to get a good deal on any item. ...
Took a private excursion to Ephesus. This is another must-see for history buffs. A remarkably-preserved biblical city. Pay extra to see the Terrace Houses - it was well worth it. We stopped at a leather store and a turkish carpet store on the way back. ...
The view of the ancient ruins was magnificent. Our Turkish guide had an excellent command of English which allowed her to present a memorable history of the area. Her sense of humor and the sights seen left a very deep impression that I cherish. ...
Ephesus was incredible. Seen ruins before, but Library of C. was amazing. Wish I had cruised a bit later or earlier in the year, though - SO many visitors. Just did the basic tour which was included in price of cruise but others were available. ...
Lovely town and nice promenade to stroll along and have a coffee. Lots of shops at the entrance to the port and people trying to get you to buy. carpets, jewellery etc. You just have to be firm and say !No!. ...
GREAT tour of Epheseus...wonderful guide and loved the experience. Highly recommend it-gave us plenty of independent free time back in Kusadasi to shop/eat after the Epheseus tour ended. ...
