Kusadasi is the Aegean’s longest established tourist
resort, and one of the most popular. Situated on the west coast of Turkey -
90km south of the city of Izmir - Kusadasi is close to important historical
sites including Ephesus, The Temple of Artemis, The House of Virgin Mary,
The Seven Sleepers, Didyma, Priene, Miletos – all ancient sites worth
visiting. The area is also ideal for those seeking a sun, sea and sand
holiday as Kusadasi has a typical Mediterranean climate with hot summers and
mild winters, providing a long tourism season. The city sparkles with
sunshine for 300 days of the year. As well as ancient sites, there are
modern tourist attractions. Two of Europe’s largest water parks are located
less than 15 minutes away, where visitors of
all ages can enjoy thrilling rides, beautiful scenery – even swim with
dolphins! There is also a big National Park which is home to several
endangered species and has secluded bays and caves for you to explore.
Kusadasi is served by two airports – Bodrum and Izmir,
and the town has a modern infrastructure offering regular public transport,
taxi and transfer services, plus a variety of trips and tours to satisfy
everyone from those seeking a relaxing sunshine break to those wanting
something more energetic.
Kusadasi is also a cruise port and hundreds of the
world’s largest cruise liners stop here – up to a six a day- bringing
tourists from all over the globe to see the ancient sites and to shop till
they drop.
Kusadasi is renowned for its shopping – it’s a
shopaholics dream – and there is a local bazaar open every day of the week
in the town itself,
or a town nearby. Nightlife ranges from quality restaurants to truly
authentic local eateries and there are pubs, live entertainment venues and
nightclubs where you can dance till dawn. Truly something for everyone.
