Ephesus & Sardis Tours from Kusadasi are departure-specific routes built around Kusadasi departure for Ephesus-side access before the longer inland route to Sardis and Salihli. Ephesus Ancient City gives the Roman-period highlight with the Library of Celsus and Great Theatre, while Sardis adds Lydian capital history, Sardis Synagogue, Bath-Gymnasium context and UNESCO heritage value.
Kusadasi is an Ephesus-side start, so Sardis adds a longer inland leg toward Salihli and Manisa. The selected product should confirm pickup, route order, Sardis site depth, Ephesus coverage, guide language, tickets, meals, transfers and final drop-off. If Temple of Artemis wording appears, it should mean Temple of Artemis at Sardis unless the product separately lists the Ephesus Artemision.
