From Pythagorio on Samos, you will sail across the eighteen-nautical-mile stretch that separates the island from the Turkish coast and arrive in Kusadasi. The town’s name means “Island of the birds,” a reference to the small island at the entrance to the harbour. Kusadasi is a cosmopolitan port with a lively waterfront and a famous bazaar, and the cruise offers a chance to experience that atmosphere on a day trip to Turkey.

During your visit to Kusadasi you may join an optional excursion to Ancient Ephesus. There you can walk the ancient streets and see the ruins of houses, the old stadium and the ancient theatres, getting a sense of life in a major Greek city of antiquity. After the optional tour you will have time to explore Kusadasi itself, with free time to wander the bazaar, stroll the harbour or relax by the sea before returning to Samos.
