Ephesus from Princess Cruises: Sun, Enchanted and Sky Princess in Kusadasi
Princess reaches Kusadasi with long calls and comfortable hours. The Sun Princess makes twelve calls between April and October, almost always from 07:00 to 18:00; the Enchanted Princess, eleven between May and November, most from 07:00 to 16:00; the Sky Princess stays fourteen hours on its single October visit. Nine hours is the minimum, and nine hours fit everything.
If you are travelling from Mexico or elsewhere in Latin America on an itinerary that combines Greece and Turkey, what we offer is clear: a licensed guide in Spanish (Portuguese and English subject to availability, confirmed on WhatsApp), a small group and a guaranteed return one hour before sailing. Our desk is inside the port, at the Ada Pier Lounge in the Cruise Plaza.
