A quick walk through the ancient ruins of Ephesus

A quick walk through the ancient ruins of Ephesus from our cruise port day in Kuşadası!

This place is absolutely breathtaking — marble streets, towering columns, arches, temples, and so many little details that make you feel like you’ve stepped straight into history. One of the most unforgettable stops of our cruise.

One of the funniest moments from our Ephesus (Kuşadası) cruise port day!
We stopped at this little ice cream stand in the plaza, and the vendor turned serving ice cream into a full‑on show.

He kept pretending to hand my daughter her cone… then flipping it, twisting it, leaving her with just the cone, just the ice cream, or a little dab on her nose. We were cracking up — such a cute and unexpected moment during our day in Ephesus.

We stopped into a local shop and the counter was filled with the prettiest Turkish Delights — pistachio, pomegranate, hazelnut, coconut… all rolled up and sliced into the most beautiful spirals.

My daughter got to sit at a real rug loom and learn how Turkish rugs are tied — one tiny knot at a time. Watching her try something so special and so cultural was such a highlight of our day.

If your cruise is heading to Ephesus, this was part of the same excursion we booked and absolutely loved.

We stopped at a local rug factory and watched how silk is made — starting with silkworm cocoons in warm water, brushing the strands, and hand‑turning the machine that pulls the silk.

Such a cool cultural stop if your cruise is heading to Ephesus. It’s one of those experiences you don’t expect on a cruise day… but you never forget.
