Kusadasi & Ephesus Day Trip

The Turkish coast is so close that the crossing takes anywhere from 45 minutes to an hour and a half, depending on the vessel and the port. Boats leave from both Vathy and Pythagoreio - about sixteen sailings a week from June to September and around four a week in winter - which makes a same-day return straightforward. Most visitors pair the bazaar at Kusadasi with ancient Ephesus, roughly half an hour away by road. You need a valid passport, and there is passport control on both sides.
