Exclusive Shore Event: Sep 24, Oct 14, Oct 25 & Nov 19 2009 - Half Day Shore Experience in Kusadasi
Kusadasi is a charming fishing village and resort on the Turkish Aegean. It is also the port for the ancient ruins at Ephesus. This great commercial city, once home to 300,000 people, flourished between 600 BC and AD 500. A Roman writer dubbed Ephesus Lumen Asiae Light of Asia for its beauty and location. In the books of the New Testament, Ephesus is the fourth greatest city in the world. Only Rome, Alexandria, and Antioch in Syria were more renowned. The city was simply stunning.
Virtuoso Explorer guests travel to these remarkable ruins to enjoy a private walking tour. Julius Aguila built the Library of Celsus in AD 135 in honor of his father, Celsus. Not only did this Royal Road library store between 9,500 and 12,000 parchment and papyri documents collected by this learned man (the walls were amazingly thick, so as to avoid any chance of mildew), but it is also the final resting-place of Celsus. The Arcadian Way (also known as the Royal Road) stretched from the harbor to the citys theater for drama. You can just imagine the spectacle of parades chariots abreast on this one-hundred-foot wide roadway.
Construction of the great theater of Ephesus was started during the reign of Claudius (AD 41-54) and was completed under his successor, Trajan. The diameter of this immense hall was 495 feet. The Odeion had 22 tiers, could accommodate 1,500 spectators, and was acoustically perfect for performances by musicians and poets. The Temple of Diana this Roman goddess of fertility and resurrection was most revered here was four times the size of the Parthenon. Even in ruins, it is impressive. Curiously, the temple was built in marshy soil to protect it from earthquake damage.
The highlight of our visit to Ephesus will be exclusive access to the recently excavated Yamac houses, a fascinating archeological site that is being excavated.
We will return to Kusadasi and the pier in time for lunch on the ship. Youll have the option of returning to the ship, or spending time in Kusadasi for some shopping and then returning to the ship independently.
Approximate Length: Three hours.
Suggested Attire: Casual wear with comfortable shoes. Moderate walking, includes stairways, cobblestone streets, and uneven surfaces.
