Turkey has become a rather popular cruise ship destination, with ports like Kusadasi, Marmaris, and Bodrum attracting thousands of guests each year. Each of these places has its own set of attractions, whether it's Kusadasi's long sandy beaches, Marmaris' waterparks, or Bodrum's archaeological museum and castle. Tourists arriving in Turkey by cruise ship do not need a Turkey eVisa if their visit is limited to the city where their ship docks and does not exceed three days (72 hours). Visitors who want to remain longer or go outside of the port city may need to apply for a visa or an eVisa, based on their nationality.
