caymancouple Posted August 26 #1 Share Posted August 26 (edited) I know in June there was an issue with cruise passengers having dinner at Ephesus/Kusadasi. Click here for the article. Has anyone been since June and has Windstar still done the dinner? I have a cruise booked for Fall of 2025 and the only reason for the cruise is to sail the Corinth Canal, and to have this dinner. Kind of worried. Anyone done Ephesus lately on WS? Thanks Edited August 26 by caymancouple Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kbr Posted August 30 #3 Share Posted August 30 Just sailed on the WindStar for 2 weeks and they are doing dinner at Ephesus. However, it's not IN the library. It's at an area nearby amongst ruins. I can't remember the exact location, but it was REALLY nice! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The food was terrible, really terrible and whilst the setting and atmosphere was incredible the food was so bad. It is provided by a nearby local hotel and just very low quality.

Rare amandas friend Posted September 3 #10 Share Posted September 3 Are drinks such as wine and beer provided at the dinner? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kbr Posted September 5 #11 Share Posted September 5 Yes, wine and beer are provided. The food was traditional Turkish items. I personally didn't care for the appetizers, although they were interesting to try. The main meal was some sort of beef stew, which I thought was fine.

paulygb Posted September 11 #13 Share Posted September 11 We have been twice for the Ephesus dinner on Windstar. The vegetarian option is very poor, it consists of a plate of steamed vegetable. I complained after the first time and was asked on the second occasion what I would like but was again served the plain steamed vegetables. Turkey has amazing vegetarian food so they should be able to offer some much better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They need to make better accommodations for this dinner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
