Available Tours
We run 13 tours from Kuşadası, and every single one includes free hotel pickup from Long Beach. Below you will find the full list organized by category.
Cultural & Historical Tours
[Ephesus Ancient City](/tours/ephesus-ancient-city) — From €58 per person, approximately 4 hours. This is the most popular tour in the region for good reason. You will walk the marble-paved main street of one of the best-preserved Roman cities in the world, past the Library of Celsus, the Great Theatre, and the Temple of Hadrian. A licensed guide brings the ruins to life. Cruise-friendly with flexible timing.
[Ephesus Full Experience](/tours/ephesus-full-experience) — €139 per person, full day. For guests who want to go deeper. This extended tour combines the ancient city with the House of the Virgin Mary, the Ephesus Museum in Selçuk, and time in the surrounding area. The best single day you can spend near Kuşadası.
[Priene, Miletus & Didyma](/tours/priene-miletus-didyma) — Three lesser-visited but extraordinary ancient sites in one day. Priene sits on a dramatic hillside with sweeping valley views, Miletus was once a great Ionian port city, and Didyma houses one of the finest ancient temples in Turkey. Far fewer crowds than Ephesus.
[Traditional Village Life — Şirince Wine Village](/tours/sirince-wine-village) — Step back in time in Şirince, a beautifully preserved Greek-Ottoman village in the hills above Selçuk. Taste local fruit wines, browse handmade crafts, and enjoy the slow pace of rural Aegean life. A lovely half-day or full-day escape.
[Traditional Hammam Experience](/tours/hammam-experience) — From €15 per person, approximately 2 hours. An authentic Turkish bath with foam massage, scrub, and full relaxation. One of the most culturally immersive experiences available, and easy to combine with another tour on the same day. Cruise-friendly.
[Pamukkale & Hierapolis](/tours/pamukkale-hierapolis) — Full day. The famous white calcium terraces of Pamukkale paired with the ancient Roman spa city of Hierapolis above them. You can swim in the thermal pool where ancient columns still lie submerged. One of Turkey's UNESCO World Heritage Sites and absolutely worth the drive from Kuşadası.
[Pamukkale Sunrise Hot Air Balloon](/tours/pamukkale-balloon) — €220 per person, full day with a very early departure (03:30–04:00 AM pickup from your Long Beach hotel). Watch the sun rise over the white travertine terraces from a hot air balloon, then tour Hierapolis. A once-in-a-lifetime experience. Booking at least 48 hours ahead is strongly recommended as spots fill quickly.
Safari & Adrenaline Tours
[ATV Quad Bike Safari](/tours/atv-quad-safari) — From €25 per person, approximately 2 hours. Ride through pine forests, dirt tracks, and Aegean countryside on a quad bike. No experience required — guides lead the group the entire way. Cruise-friendly and a great option for active guests. One of the most popular tours with younger guests and families.
[Horse Safari Through Olive Groves](/tours/horse-safari) — From €25 per person, approximately 2 hours. A guided ride on horseback through ancient olive groves and scenic countryside around Kuşadası. Suitable for beginners as well as experienced riders. Cruise-friendly.
[Buggy Safari Twin-Seater](/tours/buggy-safari) — From €28 per person, approximately 2 hours. Drive a twin-seat off-road buggy through rugged terrain with a guide leading the convoy. An exciting alternative to the ATV if you prefer riding with a companion. Cruise-friendly.
[Jeep 4x4 Mountain Safari](/tours/jeep-safari) — From €30 per person, full day. Our most adventurous land tour. A convoy of 4x4 jeeps heads into the mountains above Kuşadası, passing through villages, forests, and viewpoints that most visitors never see. Includes a traditional lunch stop. Cruise-friendly with a contractual return-to-port guarantee.
Nature & Sea Tours
[Dilek National Park Boat Tour](/tours/dilek-national-park-boat) — A boat tour through the crystal-clear waters along the Dilek Peninsula, one of the most pristine stretches of coastline on the Aegean. The national park limits development, which means the water is exceptionally clean and wildlife is abundant. Swimming stops included. Cruise-friendly.
[Snorkeling & Swim Day](/tours/snorkeling-day) — A relaxed day at sea with multiple swimming stops and snorkeling in clear Aegean water. Equipment is provided. Perfect for families or anyone who simply wants to enjoy the sea rather than walking ruins. Great option to combine with a morning cultural tour.
Free Hotel Pickup
Every tour listed above includes free pickup from your Long Beach hotel. Our driver will arrive at your hotel entrance at the confirmed departure time and wait with a name sign. You do not need to find transport to a meeting point.
When you book, just tell us:
- Your full name
- Your hotel name and room number
- Your chosen tour and preferred date
We will confirm the exact pickup time for your hotel. Long Beach hotels are typically reached in 10–15 minutes from Kuşadası center, so your pickup time may be slightly earlier than the central port departure. We will specify this clearly when we confirm your booking.
How to Book
Booking is straightforward. Contact us on WhatsApp at [+90 536 944 73 00](https://wa.me/905369447300) or by email at reservation@sundialtravelagency.com. We recommend booking at least 24 hours before your preferred tour date — for the Pamukkale Balloon, 48 hours ahead is better.
