Join us on an unforgettable day in Kuşadası, Turkey! Our journey begins high on Mount Koressos at the House of the Virgin Mary, a sacred site where tradition holds Mary spent her final years. We then head to the ancient city of Ephesus—one of the world’s most remarkable archaeological treasures and a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Walk with us past the Nike statue, the stunning Library of Celsus, and the massive Great Theatre, while hearing tips about navigating the heat, slippery marble streets, and hidden gems along the way. After exploring the ruins, we enjoy Turkish coffee at a rug shop, and then stroll the clean and friendly streets of Kuşadası. From spiritual history to incredible ruins and local culture, this port stop had it all. If you’re planning a cruise or trip to Turkey, this video will give you a perfect preview of what to expect!
