Its proximity to some of the top cultural, religious, and natural attractions in Turkey makes Kusadasi one of the best ports to use as a springboard for sightseeing trips. The ancient Roman city of Ephesus—a half-hour drive away—is widely considered to be the most well-preserved Classical city in the Eastern Mediterranean. Just outside of Ephesus, the provincial town of Selçuk is home to the Basilica of St. John and the House of the Virgin Mary. Drive the 40 minutes from the port to Sirince, a rural area dotted with wood-and-mortar houses, olive groves, and lush vineyards.
