Designed exclusively for cruise passengers visiting Kuşadası, this tour highlights two of the region’s most important spiritual and biblical sites. Visit the House of the Virgin Mary, a peaceful hilltop shrine believed to be her final home, and enjoy time for reflection in its serene setting. Continue to the Basilica of St. John, built over the Apostle John’s believed burial place, offering history, inspiration, and beautiful views of Selçuk. A traditional Turkish lunch is included to savor local flavors. Guests wishing to unwind may add an optional Traditional Turkish Bath (Hammam) for a refreshing cultural finish before returning comfortably and on time to the ship. A meaningful and well-paced experience for cruise travelers seeking sacred and historical highlights.
