Ege Port Kuşadası · TÜRSAB #18704
Every ship still to call at Ege Port, with the times it arrives and sails — and an honest answer to the question the timetable does not tell you: whether there is enough time ashore to see Ephesus and be back before all-aboard.
Ephesus shore excursion from Ege PortShowing October 2026 – December 2026 · 9 days already sailed and hidden
In short
Ephesus sits about 20 km from Ege Port Kuşadası, a drive of roughly 25 minutes each way, so a cruise passenger needs around six hours ashore to see the ancient city, the House of the Virgin Mary and stop for lunch — four to five hours covers Ephesus alone.107 ship calls are still to come at Ege Port, of which 24 leave enough time ashore for the day tour, spread across 19 days. Museum entrance is paid separately on site: Ephesus Ancient City costs €40 per person in 2026 and the House of the Virgin Mary about €14. TourThese runs the Ephesus day tour from Kuşadası port from the terminal itself with a private vehicle and a licensed English-speaking guide, timed to your ship's all-aboard rather than a fixed coach schedule.
Times are the port's scheduled arrival and departure. Hours ashore subtract disembarkation and the all-aboard call, which is typically 30 to 45 minutes before sailing — always check the time printed on your own boarding card, as ships adjust it.

Each row is one port call: the ship, its cruise line, and the scheduled arrival and departure at Ege Port. 97 of the 107 calls still to come arrive before noon, which is what makes a same-day trip to Ephesus possible for most passengers. The lines calling most often in this period are Viking Cruises (28 calls), Celestyal Cruises (18 calls) and Aroya Cruises Saudi (8 calls). The busiest day ahead is 12 October 2026, with 4 ships in port — on days like that the road to Ephesus and the ticket gates are at their most crowded, so an early start matters more than usual.
To check a single date, find it in the day-by-day list above; a date that is missing has no cruise call on the port's schedule. The badge next to each ship is our reading of its time ashore, not the port's — "Tour fits" means about 6 hours or more once disembarkation and the all-aboard call are taken off.
Source: Ege Port Kuşadası published cruise schedule (kusadasicruiseport.com/schedule). Hours ashore allow 1.25 hours for disembarkation and the all-aboard call. Schedules change — confirm with your cruise line before you plan the day.
