Ephesus Shore Excursions, Kusadasi Dining Tour, Wine Tasting Tour, 7 Bilgeler Wine Tour

Our tour starts with Ephesus Ancient City, one of the best-preserved ancient cities from the Roman period. This city was an important center mentioned in the New Testament, where Saint Paul preached. Inside the ancient city, we will see the Terrace Houses, luxurious homes of wealthy Ephesians. These houses have beautiful mosaics, frescoes, and an early central heating system. Entrance to the Terrace Houses requires an extra fee and is optional for our guests.

​

After exploring Ephesus, we take a scenic drive to Camlik Village. Here, we visit the peaceful 7 Bilgeler Vineyard House, surrounded by lavender fields, vineyards, and green hills. This special vineyard offers a chance to discover local wines with unique flavors. The on-site restaurant is famous for its homemade mezes, grilled meats, and seafood.

​

With a 6,000-year-old winemaking tradition, Ephesus has a rich wine history. You will learn about this tradition from a local expert. We will visit the winery’s production areas and the cellar with French oak barrels, where you will see the winemaking process up close. Finally, we will enjoy a wine-tasting session with local Turkish cheeses to complete our lovely day.

​

At the end of the tour, we will drop you off at Kusadasi Cruise Port.
