About Pier & Pillar: Ephesus shore days by Gezginol Tours

Pier & Pillar is the cruise-port brand of Gezginol Tours, a licensed Turkish travel agency (TÜRSAB No. 15746) based in Kuşadası, a few minutes from the cruise pier. We run private Ephesus tours for cruise passengers in Kuşadası and İzmir and for day-trippers on the Samos ferry, each planned backward from the time you must be back.

Last checked by the Pier & Pillar team, Gezginol Tours (TÜRSAB No. 15746).

What we do

One thing, done carefully: we take people from a ship to Ephesus and back. Every tour is private: your party only, your own guide and vehicle. Our guides are licensed by the Ministry of Culture and Tourism and work in 7 languages: English, Spanish, Portuguese, French, Russian, Italian, German.

How we work

  • No prepayment. Nothing is paid to reserve a tour. Because nothing is paid in advance, cancelling or changing is free. Just tell us as soon as your plans change.
  • If your ship skips the port, you owe nothing.
  • Fast-pass entry on every tour; tickets at the Ministry price with no mark-up.
  • Any group size: 1 to 52 people in one coach; for larger groups we arrange several guides and coaches.
  • A real person answers every request within 24 hours, usually the same day.

About us: short answers

Are you part of the cruise line?

No. We are an independent, licensed Turkish travel agency. You book with us directly, not through your ship.

Is Gezginol a licensed agency?

Yes. GEZGİNOL TURİZM VE TİCARET LİMİTED ŞİRKETİ is a travel agency licensed in Türkiye and registered with TÜRSAB, the Association of Turkish Travel Agencies, under No. 15746.

Why the name Pier & Pillar?

Because that is the day: from the pier where your ship ties up to the pillars of Ephesus, and back. The pillar is also the one column left of the Temple of Artemis.
