YouTube Video Description↓

I visit the House of the Virgin Mary and Ancient Ephesus via the port of Kusadasi, Turkey. I visited Turkey onboard the Celebrity Apex. I set sail on the Celebrity Apex in Rome, Italy (Civitavecchia) for a 12-night cruise to the Eastern Mediterranean. This was my second time on Celebrity Apex, which was my first cruise with Celebrity Cruises back in 2021. This time I was headed to Greece, Turkey, Israel, and Cyprus on this exciting voyage on Celebrity Apex. I will have many videos to come in this Celebrity Apex series as we sail to Israel and beyond.
