Ephesus

Cruise ships dock at Kusadasi, a Turkish resort town on the Aegean coast, which serves as the jumping-off point for the ancient city of Ephesus, one of the best-preserved Roman cities in the world, about 17 km away. Ephesus was once home to the Library of Celsus, a 25,000-seat theater, and the Temple of Artemis — one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World. The site is easily reached by taxi, minibus, or organized shore excursion.
