What is there to do around the area?
With beautiful sandy beaches, breathtaking scenery and fascinating historical sites around every corner, there's plenty to keep anyone occupied in this area of Turkey. The famous and fascinating ancient city of Ephesus is situated not far from Kusadasi, a day out at which has been voted by our family as the best ever! You can also visit the house of the Virgin Mary on the same day, where she was thought to have spent her final years after the crucifixion and acknowledged by the Vatican as a holy site. Other days out include one to Dalyan and the famous mud baths, the market at Soke, said to be one of the finest in Turkey, or a Lazy Day cruise around the sparkling coastline, stopping off at several locations for a dip in the clear Aegean waters (don't forget your snorkel). All of these trips and many more are on offer at great prices from local agents.
The bustling city of Kusadasi is about 8 miles away (an easy and cheap bus or taxi ride), where there is a multitude of shops, a large bazaar, busy harbour, restaurants and great night life. Many of the restaurants boast their own free entertainment including of course belly dancers and traditional Turkish dancers.
There is a wildlife sanctuary and restaurants nearby. The beautiful sandy Long Beach (several miles long) is 20 minutes' walk away, or a short bus ride. At the beach, there are small shops, cafes and restaurants, and water sports are available. The famous Ladies Beach (for both men and women!) is also close to Kusadasi, while there are two excellent water parks on the outskirts of the town.
