Izmir Cruise: Which Excursions to Choose?

Hello, We’re considering a cruise that stops in Izmir and offers 3 excursions: EPHESUS 'EPHESUS & THE HOUSE OF THE VIRGIN MARY' EPHESUS AND THE TERRACE HOUSES Could you give us some advice? Thanks! Best regards,

Hi! I think Ephesus and the House of the Virgin Mary are the most comprehensive options. I’ve already stopped in Izmir five times now, and I’m staying in the city this time. You’re right in the heart of the city—it’s less than a 5-minute walk to pass through a souk to get out, but in the city itself, just across from the exit, there’s a cheaper souk. Even at the exit of the Ephesus site, you’ll pass through a souk

Visiting the House of the Virgin Mary is very moving, even for a non-believer like me. At the exit of the Ephesus site, don’t miss the shop selling "authentic fakes"😏
