Short answer

Kuşadası cruise port is about 75 km (60–75 min) from Izmir Adnan Menderes Airport and about 20 km from ancient Ephesus. For airport connections on embarkation or disembarkation day, a private transfer is the most predictable option.

Embarkation day

Leave enough margin between your flight and boarding time; arriving in Kuşadası the day before is the safest plan in case of flight delays. Put your flight number and ship name in your booking.

Ephesus on a port day

If your ship stays in port for a few hours, a short visit to Ephesus and the House of the Virgin Mary is possible. Note your all-aboard time and we will plan the return around it.

Your ride is one tap away.
