The full-day Accessible Ephesus Cruise Excursion from Kusadasi or
Izmir visits the same sites as the half-day tour, but it also adds the
House of the Virgin Mary and the Basilica of St. John.

The tour uses a wheelchair accessible van to bring you from the
Kusadasi or Izmir cruise port to the Ephesus ruins.

The House of the Virgin Mary was first discovered in the 19th
century and it is believed that Mary was brought here by Saint
John and lived here late in life.
The Basilica of St. John is also included on the tour. The ruins of this 6th
century church are home to the burial site of St. John the Apostle.

Important notes:
• The tour uses a wheelchair accessible van.
• The tour uses the most accessible route at the Ephesus ruins.
• Your tour guide can assist wheelchair users over the uneven ground in
Ephesus.

Accessibility Details
The Accessible Ephesus Cruise Excursion from Kusadasi or Izmir has a
4 Star Sage Accessibility Rating because it uses a wheelchair accessible
van and is entirely step-free.

It did not receive a 5 star rating because there is a bit of uneven
terrain at the Ephesus ruins. It avoids the long downhill
cobblestone-covered road that most tours take which allows it to
get a 4 star rating.

Your tour guide will meet you at the Kusadasi cruise terminal or
Izmir cruise terminal with a sign holding your name.
Transportation on this accessible cruise excursion to Ephesus is
provided by a wheelchair accessible van (shown in the photo on
