We arrived around 9:00 this morning in Kusadasi. People were eager to get to shore and begin the four and a half hour tour to Ephesus. We packed plenty of water for hydration and sunscreen to shield us from the hot sun. Over half of the ship was signed up for the two our offerings. I chose to visit the Terraced houses due to my passion for architecture.
After our return from Ephesus we experienced a true Turkish rug sales pitch. Treated with apple tea, Turkish coffee, local wine and beer and a light snack of feta cheese with herbs wrapped in lavash. It was all very tasty and the rug tossing and rolling was incredible.
After walking around Kusadasi for about an hour we checked in with a local to find the best spot to try a Turkish kebab. It was recommended by Mert as something that one must try when in Turkey. The kebab spot was quaint and like many café’s throughout overlooked the port. We admired the Star Clipper while our palettes admired the taste of the Turkish kebab.
Sunset sail away and then off to dinner!
