We just returned from a Mediterranean cruise and had the most wonderful guide in Ephesus and Selcuk! His name is Mutlu Bulut ([email protected]). He met us at the port (Kusadasi) with a van and a driver for our family of 12. We then went to Ephesus for a few hours. He is so knowledgeable which is important in Ephesus and his English is great! Then he took us to the town of Selcuk where we went to his favorite Turkish restaurant. He ordered for us because we wanted the true Turkish food experience. It was wonderful and even the kids ate it. Then on to the Saturday market and he took us to another place for dessert (baklava and goat's milk ice cream) and it was delish! Then onto the Ephesus museum (fascinating) and St. John Basilica. Then he asked if we would like to go see how turkish rugs were made. It was again fascinating to see how they make them. Then back to the boat. Of course, you don't have to do a full day with Mutlu but we feel like we got the full experience of a day in Turkey!
