The Glory of Ephesus

One archeological masterpiece is greater than them all. Esphesus is a UNESCO World Heritage Site, which hosted one of the Seven Wonders of the World. One word: Wow. Civilisation’s most intact Greco-Roman city has marble temples and frescoed villas. Plus a two-millennia-old brothel signposted with a sexy lady’s head carved in stone. What made Ephesus so ornate? It was financed by King Croesus, the man who literally invented money. Your Y.CO Charter Specialist has arranged skip-the-line access to this open-air museum.

The port of Kusadasi is action-packed. Turkey’s busiest pleasure port stocks as many silks and spices as Istanbul’s Grand Bazaar. Take a hammam steam bath. Picnic on a castle island. Or cruise to eight sandy beaches in your charter yacht tender. We love Ladies Beach, a soft sand curve that doubles as Turkey’s windsurfing go-to.
