Slide 1 of 8
Awesome beach with lots of cool restaurants, places to rent cabana and chairs, and even a 40 foot platform dive. One of our Highlights was hanging out here.
I was pleasantly surprised by Ladies Beach - the water was so clear and clean. It got very busy throughout the afternoon but when we arrived at 10.30 there were plenty of sun beds available - all 300tl each and parasols are free. I was happy to see lots of people dispose of their rubbish although there are a lot of cigarette butts all over the sand.
The best beach in Kusadasi There are a lot of free umbrellas and beach beds, but as demand is quite high, you should come early to get them. A lot of shops and cafes are nearby, as well as Migros store. Water is clean, the sand is being cleaned daily, views are quite pleasant. Really nice place, however could be crowded in summer peak times. But is early September it was quite good and not crowded
The sea is shallow and crystal-clear. Unlike other touristic places, businesses with a sea view don't have exaggerated prices. There are also regular shops in the promenade so that u can easily get a drink without having to leave the seaside. We spent a pleasant afternoon swimming here. I recommend it.
A wonderful beach with soft white sand and crystal-clear water — truly one of the most beautiful spots in Kuşadası. However, it’s sad to see that some visitors leave trash and throw cigarette butts around. When you have such a stunning natural place, it’s everyone’s responsibility to keep it clean and take care of it. Despite that, the beach itself is amazing - perfect for swimming, relaxing, and enjoying the view.
One of the best beachs! I love Kusadisai! It's crowded so if you're looking for a quiet beach, this is not the one, but the water and beach are beautiful! You can get there early and snag a umbrella already set up on the beach, or rent one for £100 at one of the shops on the boardwalk.
Nice beach close to the city centre. Sunbeds available for a fee, but also free areas in the beach. Several restaurants and bars on the street above the beach.
The beach was ok. The umbrella rentals were reasonable at €15 for two chairs and an umbrella. The ocean water however was full of debris from trees or plants, not sure which. However, we walked a little further to the right and the water seemed a bit clearer, not too bad. The waves were very strong so we had to keep a close eye on the kids. The vendors on the beach were very reasonable, I bought cotton candy and a candy apple at €2 each. Overall, not too bad of an experience at lady beach. The cab charged us €20 each way from the cruise Port.

Family-friendly water park featuring slides, pools & rafting rides, plus swimming with dolphins.
Slide 1 of 8
FANTASTIC we went yesterday and what a day this water park was super clean, safe and good polite staff. As it is June there was no waiting time for the slides and it was very organised. I think this has to be top of our list for best water park. We can highly recommend you will definitely enjoy your day. We paid 6000tl for 3 people. Opens at 10am
One of the best experience I’ve ever had! The safety standards are exceptional — lifeguards everywhere made me feel totally secure. Slides are super fun, especially the long tunnel ones with rafts. The park is huge and has something for everyone, whether you’re chasing adrenaline or just relaxing. Even the restrooms were shockingly clean and well-designed. Fast service, delicious food — truly beyond expectations. 5 stars, no question!
Definitely worth a visit. Lots of slides and pools to use and felt like there was a lot of space. No long queues and this was peak season, the longest time we waited was 5mins. The food and drink prices are very reasonable and all the staff spoke English and were very friendly. Facilities such as toilets and changing rooms very clean and the atmosphere was very pleasant. The only small complaint was that it’s all up hill so there is some stairs to climb for the slides which was tiring but overall this did not ruin any of our fun and the views were worth the climb. Just to note the pools are salt watered and the dolphin park is not part of the price of adaland so if you want to visit the dolphin park you will need to pay extra.
Absolutely blown away by the whole experience! The food portions were way bigger than expected — generous and delicious. The entire place was spotless, I was honestly surprised by how clean everything was. But what really stood out was the staff: incredibly kind, energetic, and professional. Their way of speaking and helping made the whole visit feel premium. Easily one of the most well-managed parks I’ve ever been to.
We took the family here for half a day in July and had an amazing time. Take caution when riding the rides, they are definitely fun, but you need to be careful.
Fantastic day out !!! On holiday in didim with teenage children, booked trip through a local excursion shop. Water park is immaculately clean, plenty of sun lounges located all over park. Lots of different swimming pools, places to get drinks and food all reasonable priced. All the slides are great fun, we didn’t have to queue for any slides. All had a great day. Best water parked we have been too.
Great place to spend time. Lots of attractions. This park is big and has lots of green areas giving shade. You don't feel crowded and there is no problem finding seats. Beautiful view of the mountains and the sea. The only thing is that they are closing quite early (at 5pm) so definitely worth going in the morning.
Absolutely amazing. We came as a family and had a really good time. The areas for kids are endless and very entertaining for them. And for the adults there is never ending slides and activites. Looks like it has been re-furnished a little too so everywhere was looking very nice and clean. I couldn’t fault them at all. Definitely recommend!
Dilek National Park

National park
Nature & Parks
Slide 1 of 8
Absolutely beautiful and a must visit! The beach is very nice, it's a pebble beach. There are sun loungers to hire or there are free ones too (if you're there early enough). Shower facility available and free parking. Be aware of the wild pigs though, especially if there are piglets. Our car was damaged by the pigs, didn't realise how strong they were.
Since you can’t really drive all the way through the park I have to get a rating at three. Is our understanding that there is a military base at the end of the peninsula which overlooks Greece so they do not allow your access to that part of the pregnancy.
Rated as one of the top 10 beaches we found in an online article we decided to head along in the car. The park is separated into around 4 or 5 beach areas each with its own car park and its own access to the beach. Several have cafes serving soft drinks (non alcoholic) and snacks only in what I can only describe as an archaic fashion. With dirty sunbeds at a cost there are however, free to use picnic benches which I would highly recommend but seemingly a feature well recognised by the locals. If you're lucky enough to be traveling in a car then I'd recommend finding your own private beach!
I went to Dilek National Park on a weekday in May 2023 driving a motorbike. You can only enter from the north side of the peninsula for a ticket. There are a few beaches that you can visit and are not too far from the entrance. Beaches are beautiful and equipped with facilities for pic-nic, bars and plenty of toilets. At the time of my visit, none of the cafes/restaurants were open. Unfortunately the area that you can visit is quite limited compared to the extent of the peninsula, I wish I could visit more. Also, if you need info about the peninsula and trekking possibilities there isn’t much available and I recommend visiting the tourist information point in Kusadasi (opposite the port).
best place for cycling, swimming or trekking
If you have a car or go by bus or taxi the beaches are a refreshing change from the resort complex! Relatively harmless boar roam around scavenging but only because idiots feed them and don't understand they'll keep coming!
Beautiful beaches and many areas to rest and eat on the waterfront.
Absolutely beautiful. The park was perfect for any family get together or picnic for two. The beauty in Turkey is spectacular. Friendly people everywhere.
Kuşadası Bazaar

Shopping mall
Shopping
Slide 1 of 8
Huge bazaar with hundreds of shops where you can find thousbands of goods like clothes, shoes, accessories, souvenirs, traditional Turkish goods and everything you can think of. Prices start high but a great part of the experience is making a great deal for yourself by talking to the sellers. I definitely recommend checking it out. Can't wait to go back.
We enjoyed Kusadasi a lot more than we thought we would. Came by Cruise and just came out for a bit of a walk, knowing that this town here is filled with endless shops with mostly fake products. But since we like Turkey in general, we had a look around. Right in the front of the bazaar, near the port, there is the most and aggressive hassle going on. Every single shop (with mostly the same products) you will get talk to and everybody's trying to convice you to shop at their store. It can get a bit annoying, but then again this is what they do and their daily business. Just a polite "no, thank you" will mostly be sufficient. We didn't really buy anything here. But more south, at the very end of the bazaar street (Kahramlar Cd.), is where things get more interesting. Maybe less variety of products, but prices are a lot cheaper, really a lot cheaper. And other good shops (without fake stuff) can be found here. Also an excellent nut/turkish delight/dessert shop named "Tuğba Kuruyemiş" with great products for local prices. This area here is where we've had the most fun and people here didn't push or rush, many shops having a "no hassle" sign...which turned out to be true. All in all it was a fun experience, the southern part of the Bazaar being the highlight, where we actually did some very nice and well priced products. Skip the first few dozen of shops or so, you'll find cheaper deals later on.
There is really nothing special in this bazaar compare to other bazaar in Turkey. Most shops sell fake bags, shoes, clothes by euro! Means no Kusadasi people visits here! If you have really nothing to do it, visit here and walk for 30 mintues to an hour.
It's a pretty Bazaar - but EVERY store had the exact same factory made items being sold as "hand made" or "authentic". A couple stores actually said "replicas" when it came to the watches... but that's it. Our ship director and captain said it best.... in Turkey... everything is both real and fake. It's REALly fake stuff. No kidding. Our ports of proof are Alanya, Marmaris, Kusadasi and Istanbul. All 4 bazaars are the exact same.
There's little pressure. The vendors were enthusiastic to offer their goods but polite. Its nice to see the place has not lost its local inhabitants. We had freshly squeezed oranges- this was a bit pricey. There were plenty of places to stop for drinks etc. The area is extensive to walk so plenty to see.
Pleasant town with many Bazaars & restaurants. Friendly locals make your walk through the town interesting 🤔
Wonderful port the bazar very nice and safety place . Nice people . Thanks for all
We were there Saturday leaving Ephesus. Fun but slightly annoying. They REALLY push the rug buying angle😝

Castle
Sights & Landmarks
Slide 1 of 8
The castle walls were built by İlyas Agha while the citadel's construction was commissioned by the Ottoman admiral Hayreddin Barbarossa. The castle walls 3 m (9.8 ft) in height. There's an entrance fee. Awesome photo opportunities.
The castle is small but well preserved. Inside of the castle is like a park. There is nothing special in the castle. There is a small museum It’s so small but the bone of fin whale is interesting. Is it worth to visit by paying 8€? I’m not sure. But not that bad…relatively cheap price lol
*Possible scam - check your receipt Paid by card and was overcharged...got a refund for the difference. Otherwise did not object to the 10 euros as this is a historic landmark, a peaceful oasis and I connected possitively with the random collection in the tiny museum.
Beautiful island castle/fortress with amazing views of the sea. The museum is ok but you can enter the grounds without paying for the museum. Sit and relax while listening to the birds and watching the boats. Very few people to contend with.
Nice walk from the cruise port (10 min), our captain said it was free to visit. Also research on the web said free, but seems like that since this month (aug 2025) it is a 10 euro entrance fee. Huge difference against locals. Even the toilet is 1 euro against 20TL (,40 euro).
The entry ticket is 10€ per person, the view inside is amazing and very interesting things all around
Nice museum inside of the castle. It goes through the various time periods. 10€ for visitors.
Nothing really to see but sooner gardens, a nice view and a few relics battered on fishing. Not worth the €10. As with everything there it's overpriced for tourists

Slide 1 of 8
Long Beach (Uzun Plaj) in Kusadasi is a must-visit for its pristine sands, crystal-clear waters, and excellent facilities. This Blue Flag beach was the perfect start to our Turkish adventure. The kids loved splashing around in the refreshing sea, even in the scorching 45-degree heat. We easily found free parking nearby. Initially, we were scammed by a local who insisted we pay 500 TL for sun loungers and umbrellas, claiming we weren't staying at a nearby resort. Later, an official intervened, revealing the loungers were actually free and that we had been duped. We managed to recover our money, but the situation escalated into a heated argument between the official and a seemingly involved individual. Feeling sorry for the young man who helped us set up the loungers, I gave him a 100 TL tip. It was clear he was just a small cog in a larger scam orchestrated by someone else.
Very great beach with beautiful sunsets.
I love this beach. My favourite place in kusadasi. This year I noticed how dirty it was, fag butts and rubbish everywhere.
Nice and wide beach. good for children because there are shallows. There are free parts of the beach for guests that have deckchairs and umbrellas, but they are free, well done.
If you are looking to get away from the hustle and bustle of the town, long beach is a great option to spend time at. However, keep in mind that during the high season , there are more people visiting over here. There are nice cafes and restaurants to visit and it’s a great option to take a walk around. It’s mostly visited by the residents of the house complexes but I recommend it to anyone that enjoys spending time at the beach.
Even if on Maps it shows that it is a section of the beach, the same beach is 10 kilometers long. It has one of the best bike lanes, I really enjoyed riding the bike. I also recommend it for a walk, not only to go swimming in the water, the view is really beautiful!
Fun to exercise and drink and best view for sunset
We really loved this beach. -Great sand for children to play -water is clear -no stones -good sea bottom *Because of the waves there was A LITTLE seaweed, but that was not a problem ( we went on 09.09.2022, May be that is typical for this time of the year) We parked the car for free on the road at the beginning of the beach and went pass some hotel beaches which were pretty crowded and found the empty one. We paid 100TL for two places but it is worth it. The stuff really takes care of the beach, it is clean and they even clean your sun beds from the sand. You can identify this particular area with stripped umbrellas, they don’t look good but I highly recommend exactly this part of the beach

This pirate-themed outdoor water park features slides, pools & a kids' area, plus a restaurant.
Slide 1 of 8
Fantastic water park with lots to offer for both kids and adults of all ages. You are able to purchase Food & Drink from the Cabana near the main tower using a Tortuga Card rather than Cash which is a lot easier. The assault course is fantastic however is only usually avaliable to children with adult sessions every 3 hours
The water park itself is great but there's no customer service at all. The drinks and food are very low quality. Enjoy your time on the water slides they are great.
It wasn’t bad. But this waterpark is basically for their resort customers. I booked tickets from internet(50 liras cheaper per person than booth). But staffs in ticket booth didn’t know how to check and handle my reservation because most of people in the park are customers in connected resort. They didn’t give me a map or explanation about waterpark(where is food court, how to use). I mean they don’t care about visitors from outside! But rest of them are good. But just for family who has kids!
Great place and a great day out. The only negative comment is the food is terrible. We paid for meals on the entry fee. Burger and nuggets are of the lowest quality,absolutely disgusting.
The only thing that let's this place down is the upkeep. Some of the painted floors around the pool areas is coming away so you have to wear something on your feet. There is also a few areas where the bushes are over growing the sun loungers which makes them not usable. However apart from this it's a great place to spend the day with lots to keep the family entertained. The food is just what you would expect from a water park meaning burger's, chicken nuggets, chips and the like. Overall definitely worth a visit if you're staying in the the area. Visit early on your holiday as you will have a good time and will want to return.
Nice water park with few interesting slides and nearby parking. However staff is exaggerating with forbidding activities. For smaller kids (in our case 7 year old child) it is forbidden to go on bigger slides (even though it is written on board that kids are alowed on slides under supervision of adult) and adults are not allowed to go on smaller slides and it is impossible to have fun with your own kids. I was also forbiden to go on slides with plastic sport watch. Practically whole staff does not speak english and it is very difficult to communicate. You need to fill up entrace card in advance with money to buy food and drinks in restaurant (without knowing any prices :)) and for the end park closes at 17:30.
Excellent aqua park especially for young children very clean also you can eat fast food like pizza and burger abut 50 TL.
We liked it so much, we went back for a second day. Plenty of safety staff, clean, good facilities. Good reasonably priced. Security lockup for valuables. Loads of water slides, for all ages. If your in Kusudasi, you need a day here, seriously. The best water park we have been to. Anyone giving this park a low rating is either from a park in competition, or not right in the head. Great fun!!!

Slide 1 of 8
Nice shopping centre. Quite some shops.
All well known Turkish brands such LC Waikiki, koton, Mavi etc have shops here but variation is limited. Prices are same across EU. Several restaurants are around but I didn’t try them. Taxis standing outside are also scam as usual.
If you like to shop this is your place to do so. The walkways are clean, wide and easy to navigate when busy. There are many different shops, easy dining and even kid friendly areas. It is an outdoor mall, so on a hot day you might need to pop into the shops to cool down. Many of the eateries didn't have the best cooling systems (some just fans).
Decent range of shops including food and children’s play area. Products and branded items are more on the genuine side as to the fakes in the market areas… Easy transport outside the shopping mall including taxi’s on standby running on the meter, so no chance of being scammed.
Good little mall for a shopping trip and something to eat, has a good variety of clothing stores along with coffee shops, restaurants and cafes. If you are in the area its definitely worth a look. Very clean and tidy and easily accessible.
This place is very complete, and it was my first time seeing a mall with so many outdoor areas. I was surprised by how beautiful and enjoyable it was. A really unique and pleasant shopping experience!
Outdoor shopping. Only issue is the taxi drivers add 600tl to your bill for going there and another 10% as a transaction fee if you use a bank card to pay, even if in local currency (but that's common practice for all taxis, so pay cash and save)
Lovely place to visit. Plenty of shops and restaurants. Very clean place. Would highly recommend.

Accessible with facilities. Nice sandy beach in town
Pros: -Convenient and easy to access beach. -Free seats and umbrellas available. -Outdoor showers free and bathroom for 15TL onsite. -Accessible access for wheelchair. Cons: -You have a view over cruise ships coming at bay or private ships. -There’s a lot of cigarette butt on the floor, as well as can capsule. Don’t forget your shoes. Recommend if you’re onsite and don’t have a car for a further beach.
Filthy beach. Cigarette butt's and garbage everywhere. It was crowded, and no shade was available. The locals were unfriendly and unwilling to share the beach.
A free and good place for sunbathing and swimming
Filthy beach (bottle caps, cigarette buds, lolly wrappers). Worker lied and said sun chairs were free, only to charge us ten minutes later (40 lira each).
It’s a small public beach free entrance and umbrellas they try to keep it clean as much as they can
Good beach, clean sand and water, not very deep
Public beach (Baladia Plaji) in centre of Kuşadasi with facilities like umbrellas, Showers and toilets free. Small children play yard in sand (good for below 5 years old kids) also free. Barriers with safe guard also available. Having view to the Cruise Port and greenish hills as well as the Kusadasi famous historical castel, makes a lovely place for family and quick access to beach in this area. Here is attached (just next to eachother) with "Setur Marin Kuşadasi ". A shopping centre with many resturant view to this beach. The sea water quality and cleanliness for swimming is acceptable but surely not like other far beaches in Kuşadasi.

Harikalar. It was really really nice sun set.
We were intending to meet friends here, but they went to the wrong place, so we left to meet up with them. It was a very stormy/choppy sea, so not good for sunbathing.
Very relax. .. ı Love it

The marina itself is very beautiful. Would recommend 'The angel of the Sea' private boat trip. Great family who run it. The food court at the Marina has a good variety and value for money. Kahve dünyası and Ramiz köfte are my favourite places to visit. Staff and security at the Marina always helpful and friendly. Beautiful views
Its nice and well run but docking charges are so expensive, its cheaper to dock in london bridge marina, overall ok but no facilities for the price you pay. Free parking and being right in d middle of the city is nice
The marina is now a construction site. No restaurants, no meeting places, no bbq. The staff are wonderful, helpful and thoughtful. The one bathroom and self help laundry are lovely but if you're not on Y2 dock or the outside dock for large boats, its a very long walk. Dont leave it to the last minute. There is a shuttle if you are lucky. The cost to stay there is more expensive than before. We are lucky to be a part of the Setur marina exchange so its free for now.
Friendly and safe haven. Nice architecture. Supermarkets and pubs nearby. What a yachtsman could need more?
Beutiful place, nice town,with good restoraunts,not so expensive.
Met up with a mate for a drink on his bosses boat. It was very nice.
Good variety, moderate prices, more expensive than Samos dutyfree which is a shame.
Picturesque place where you can see the Pidgeon Island (Güvercin Adası), the whole coastline and the city. Plenty of opportunities for nice photographs and walks in the evening.

Needs more digging but you can feel the history. Its free to enter. Good for hiking. Summer early evenings or early mornings are better. Need your own vehicle. Much to discover
We went their by car it was a nice historic place with olive trees the area was nice the history of it was also nice the fight against the persians of 12 city states trying to unite against a bigger enamy.
twelve political, economical strongest city-towns of the ancient Greek shores founded the PANIONION (Ionian league)- dedicated to Poseidon. The site of Ionian religious (called the Panionia) at 7th century. Great Greek ancient History.
The dericinin making place of the Ancient Ionnian League. Simple and silent. Worth a short stopby.
Just ruins, no direct road, boards with historic information in English.
Unfortunately there is a complete lack of maintenence of this historic place

Huge bazaar with hundreds of shops where you can find thousbands of goods like clothes, shoes, accessories, souvenirs, traditional Turkish goods and everything you can think of. Prices start high but a great part of the experience is making a great deal for yourself by talking to the sellers. I definitely recommend checking it out. Can't wait to go back.
We enjoyed Kusadasi a lot more than we thought we would. Came by Cruise and just came out for a bit of a walk, knowing that this town here is filled with endless shops with mostly fake products. But since we like Turkey in general, we had a look around. Right in the front of the bazaar, near the port, there is the most and aggressive hassle going on. Every single shop (with mostly the same products) you will get talk to and everybody's trying to convice you to shop at their store. It can get a bit annoying, but then again this is what they do and their daily business. Just a polite "no, thank you" will mostly be sufficient. We didn't really buy anything here. But more south, at the very end of the bazaar street (Kahramlar Cd.), is where things get more interesting. Maybe less variety of products, but prices are a lot cheaper, really a lot cheaper. And other good shops (without fake stuff) can be found here. Also an excellent nut/turkish delight/dessert shop named "Tuğba Kuruyemiş" with great products for local prices. This area here is where we've had the most fun and people here didn't push or rush, many shops having a "no hassle" sign...which turned out to be true. All in all it was a fun experience, the southern part of the Bazaar being the highlight, where we actually did some very nice and well priced products. Skip the first few dozen of shops or so, you'll find cheaper deals later on.
There is really nothing special in this bazaar compare to other bazaar in Turkey. Most shops sell fake bags, shoes, clothes by euro! Means no Kusadasi people visits here! If you have really nothing to do it, visit here and walk for 30 mintues to an hour.
It's a pretty Bazaar - but EVERY store had the exact same factory made items being sold as "hand made" or "authentic". A couple stores actually said "replicas" when it came to the watches... but that's it. Our ship director and captain said it best.... in Turkey... everything is both real and fake. It's REALly fake stuff. No kidding. Our ports of proof are Alanya, Marmaris, Kusadasi and Istanbul. All 4 bazaars are the exact same.
There's little pressure. The vendors were enthusiastic to offer their goods but polite. Its nice to see the place has not lost its local inhabitants. We had freshly squeezed oranges- this was a bit pricey. There were plenty of places to stop for drinks etc. The area is extensive to walk so plenty to see.
Pleasant town with many Bazaars & restaurants. Friendly locals make your walk through the town interesting 🤔
Wonderful port the bazar very nice and safety place . Nice people . Thanks for all
We were there Saturday leaving Ephesus. Fun but slightly annoying. They REALLY push the rug buying angle😝

A beautiful mosque in the walled city, a moment of peace away from the hustle and bustle of the bazaar. Usual Ottoman style mosque with beautiful painted windows, soft carpet and painted walls. The mosque is well kept, there is a office in the vicinity of the mosque in case it is locked the key can be located from the office to enter the mosque.
Although it is an old building, because it is beautiful and felt very comfortable
Beautiful mosque, has a ladies prayer area too!
A lovely peaceful mosque in between all the bazaar excitement. Easy to access from the bazaar.
A small but very nice Masjid, in the basement with wudu facilities. Only Jummah in congregation, but open to perform other salah yourself. May Allah swt reward the brothers running the Masjid
Historical place in the heart of Kusadasi.
Really nice place friendly.
