While doing my research of Turkey ( Turkiye as it's now called ), I saw a mix of reviews regarding women and Islamic Culture, so I was surprised when I saw it was part of the itinerary while exploring the Greek Islands of Greece. I also saw that the bazaars were known to be pretty aggressive when trying to sell to you so I was a little nervous. I decided to book an excursion, because of course the adventurer in me wanted to explore a new country and you never know with rumors and reviews what is real and what is exaggerated. As it turns out, Celestyal Cruises offers a number of thrilling excursions and they even dock right in Kusadasi. In port, you can experience the Turkish Culture of Turkish Delights, coffee, carpets, lanterns, you name it! But, why limit yourself to just this when you can do this AND walk in the footsteps of Cleopatra, John the Apostle, and other historical figures in one of the most Historical Cities of all time... Ephesus! In this video, I cover the answers to some of the main questions that I had before I took my cruise - so that you can be prepared for yours! ***** VIDEO CHAPTERS ***** 0:00 INTRO Kusadasi Port & Dress Code 0:55 Prepping for Celestyal Cruise Excursion 2:23 House of the Virgin Mary 6:26 Ephesus 11:27 Magic Carpets 13:05 OUTRO Turkey Excursion Leave a 💙 if Turkey is on your bucket list too!
