Kusadasi Flights and Travel Guide

Kusadasi is one of the most swollen resort towns on the southern Aegean Coast, overflowing with shiploads of tourists in summer who enlarge the year-round population several times over. Once a small fishing village, today the busy town is packed with curios and carpet shops; its proximity to the ruins of Ephesus making it an ideal base for Aegean cruise ships. Despite the frenzied tourism, Kusadasi is situated amid splendid coastal scenery and several significant archaeological sites, including the three well-preserved Ionian settlements of Miletus, Priene and Didyma. There are plenty of good hotels and restaurants, and ferries link it with the nearby Greek islands of Samos and Mykonos.

Kusadasi Insider Information

• It’s no mystery that vacationers book flights to Kusadasi for its clear, warm waves, and luxurious, sprawling beaches. The water’s shallow depths last for what seems a mile, which is perfect for families traveling with kids. (Watch for stones, though!) The beach is narrow and long, making it easy to find the perfect spot to settle on the fine, white sand, and bask in the sun’s glow. Along the shore are showers for quick rinsing, and restaurants, small supermarkets, and parasol rentals for your convenience.
• The ancient ruins of Priene are not to be missed. Once an archaic city of Iona, the well-preserved area holds remains of the Temple of Athena, where five pillars tower majestically over its viewers. Also nearby are a theater, gymnasium, and antiquated homes that have been excavated. For history buffs planning flights to Kusadasi, pay special attention to the historical grid-like plan of the city, and the conditions of still-intact amphitheater. About an hour drive from the city, this side trip is certainly worth the wait.
• If you’re looking for a little bit of nightlife during your travel to Kusadasi, look no further than its two main streets for an array of pubs, discos, bars, and restaurants. Barlar Sokagi (Street of Bars) and Asagi Barlar Sokagi (Lower Street of Bars) are contained inside the old city walls, where Irish bars outnumber all other establishments. Famous for its live music, bustling atmosphere, attentive service, and lively attractions, the avenues are also home to some of the area’s hottest beach clubs.
