Excursions from Kusadai, Turkey

[britbob]

Having just returned from a Holland America cruise which included Kusadasi I can highly recommend using www.*****.

I arranged a day tour to Ephesus, Virgin Marys Church , Artemis and the Mosque. It worked out at $24 per person for 8 people. This was a 6 hour tour. This included Airconditioned bus, driver and excellent guide. We also had lunch as an extra for $5 per person.

We were met at the dock and everything worked out just as we would have wished. Don't waste your money paying the high prices asked by all the cruise lines for their shore excursions: they are a rip off. Go for the local tour company.

We did end up at a shop selling local goods of good quality but I was not totally convinced that they were all a bargain so do your homework on prices. Beware of make believe Kashmere clothing items at the stops. They are rarely authentic!! The guide should be able to help you with your decisions.
