If your ship docks at İzmir Alsancak Port, your private Mercedes-Vito is ready at the port. Whether you head out to Ephesus and Şirince or explore İzmir's Kordon, Konak and Kemeraltı — your driver waits at every stop and brings you back to the port before your ship departs.
Some cruises dock at İzmir Alsancak Port rather than Kuşadası; this drops you right in the city centre. Your driver greets you at the port and offers a flexible plan based on how you'd like to spend the day — an escape to ancient Ephesus or a day within İzmir's own fabric.
The distance from İzmir port to the ancient city of Ephesus is about 75 km, roughly a 1 hour 15 minute drive. The city centre, meanwhile, is right beside the port; Kordon, Konak Square and the historic Kemeraltı Bazaar are within walking or a short driving distance.
Two typical routes to suit your port call. The vehicle and driver are yours for the whole day; the plan is built around your ship's all-aboard time. Times are approximate.
| Plan | Main stops | ~Duration |
|---|---|---|
| Ephesus escape | İzmir Port → Ephesus → House of the Virgin Mary → Şirince → Port | ~6-7 hr |
| İzmir city day | Kordon → Konak & Clock Tower → Kemeraltı → Kadifekale → Port | ~4-5 hr |
| Port → Airport (ADB) | İzmir Alsancak Port → Adnan Menderes Airport | ~35 min |
The service we offer is a private car and driver; not a guided, crowded tour. A licensed guide inside Ephesus can be arranged separately on request; museum and archaeological site tickets are not included in the price. Your driver waits at every stop, and you simply enjoy your day.
The price is fixed per vehicle — not per person, no meter. Send us the hours your ship stays in İzmir via WhatsApp, and we'll give you a precise plan and a clear price.
