Creator's Key Takeaways

The port itself, honestly, there isn't much there.

The real reason you're here is Ephesus, about 40 minutes drive inland.

I booked it with NCL. It wasn't crazy expensive and honestly was worth every euro.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Visit Ephesus when stopping in Kusadasi.
Book the Ephesus excursion with NCL for good value.
