Beaches
Ladies Beach, also known as Kadinlar Denizi, is a well-known and lively beach in Kusadasi. Initially reserved for women during the Ottoman period, it now welcomes everyone. The beach offers a vibrant atmosphere with its palm-lined promenade featuring shops, bars, cafes, and hotels that create a resort-like feel.
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.
Sam F — Google review
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.
Natalie M — Google review
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
Anton R — Google review
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.
Brcn — Google review
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.
Alexander G — Google review
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.
Teah A — Google review
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.
Jonas H — Google review
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.

Green Beach

(1030)
Beach
Green Beach is a charming small sandy beach located 500m south of another popular spot, Long Beach. It features grassy areas shaded by palm trees and tends to get crowded with locals on weekends. Further along the coast near the National Park are Silver Sands and Love Beach, which offer wider and less crowded spaces for relaxation. The beach club at Kusadasi is a new addition, occupying a large area with a 3-floor complex that includes a restaurant serving delicious meals.
Amazing beach bar experience! 🤗 The place is really beautiful with clean and clear water. The sandy beach below was perfect for relaxing, making the whole visit a true pleasure. The bar itself is excellent, with delicious food and drinks. The staff were incredibly friendly and attentive — we were truly impressed! The entrance fee was 400 TL, which is quite reasonable for everything you get there. Highly recommend!
Јована Б — Google review
Fine place, and it’s clean. There is a second part of a beach which is less expensive (not the main gate, you need to go down, the name of the beach is OKALI). In most cases, water is clean. It may be crowd during the weekend.
Miloš K — Google review
What is a beautiful beach club, honestly it’s on 400TL per person to use the beds and you get a free towel and water Absolutely brilliant and if you don’t like the sea, the pool is beautiful and worth getting using. The coffee is brilliant and affordable.
Steve R — Google review
Well choose name for this great place with beautiful water ! We got there with a package including transfer from hotel and back plus entrance, and it was totally worth it. Water is perfect, there's plenty of deck chairs to relax, and great service. We tried coffee, beers and raki served by the beach and enjoyed a great day there.

Green Beach in Kuşadası is a picturesque spot with clear turquoise waters and soft golden sand, ideal for sunbathing and swimming. It offers amenities like sunbeds, umbrellas, and nearby cafes. The lush, green surroundings provide shade and a scenic backdrop. Families will appreciate the calm, shallow waters, and there are water sports available for the adventurous. Well-maintained and welcoming, Green Beach is a top destination in Kuşadası.
Paris F — Google review
AVOID this place! We were passing by and wanted to have tea. The guy invited us (read - pushed us in) just to sell us soda and tell us that the entrance costs 350 lira per person. We mentioned that we were not planning to use the beach, so he grabbed 500 lira for 2 people instead and disappeared. The beach club is closed by the way, everything is empty. So we paid 500 lira for 5 minute stay and seeing the dirty beach club. Total garbage attitude 👎
Nick K — Google review
It is a new beach club in Kusadasi, built on where used to be a public beach. It is a 3-floor complex, covering a big area. Restaurant part is nice, we tried both breakfast and meat-burgers, liked them all. Food was delicious, and servers were attentive. Beach part, the beds and umbrella is paid extra, beach is nice but the sea is full with stones, so much that it hurts the feet. Still, overall, a very good place.

Grand Bazaar

Shopping mall
Kusadasi offers a variety of activities, from exploring the Byzantine castle on Pigeon Island to visiting the Grand Bazaar for some haggling over prices. The area also boasts waterparks and day trips to ancient Ephesus. The small and affordable accommodations provide a peaceful retreat after a day of exploration. The Grand Bazaar near the port is an undercover shopping area catering to tourists, offering jewelry, leather goods, and souvenirs.
Fun to walk around and see all the shops, restaurants and enjoy the atmosphere. Be prepared to en engaged with by the various shop owners to encourage you to buy from their shop! 😊
Daniele S — Google review
Came here in late October recently on a cruise. Explored the Grand Bazaar after visiting the Old Town Bazaar, just walking about and window-shopping
Google L — Google review
Just not my cup of tea. Pushy, demanding salesmen, and always, and I mean always bartering on everything. If you even give a slight interest in something, they are wrapping it up for you and assume you are buying, then you get the outrageous price! If you walk away, they get irritated. If you bargain, you are still probably getting screwed, and will likely feel that way when you see the same thing 20 minutes later for less. Remember, the shop owners ALWAYS have the advantage. Bartering is part of their culture, probably not yours. Some may feel like its fun, but for me it's just not my idea of a relaxing day off a cruise ship.
Eric S — Google review
Truth be told, this is difficult and perhaps bias. As wonderful as the market is, and it's really spectacular in terms of color, variety, friendliness, vibrancy, I could not help but feel as though I had drawn the short end of the stick. Truth be told, you know you will have to haggle on pricing, and perhaps that is part of the charm. If your off a ship and in town for one day, then ok... but if you staying, as we did, for a week in Kusadasi, then this "friendliness" can get a bit much. Also, the batering, we were told a price on a bunch of goods, which we had invested an hour on trying different clothes etc, the items eventually chosen (no prices tags showen on any items), would be €190... which was much higher than my expectation... after negotiations I got this down to €130... I felt good... or sonic thought I did, cause an hour later and 20 clothing shops later, I get a sense I might still have overpaid... it left a sour taste in my mouth. Which is a pity. But that's just my opinion. It's still fun, its vibey and probably the reason you go to the Bazaar. My recommendation, shop around, be prepared to call the bluff, say no and walk out, then you might truly get a good deal.
Tom H — Google review
If you pay sticker at any of the shops, you're getting taken advantage of. Always negotiate. Don't be afraid to walk away. You will feel pressure, they will try to charge before agreeing. The shops across the street near the ports have the same stuff at better prices and no hassle.

Great place to buy things you don't need. However, if you are here, go by Hakan's carpet shop. He knows everything there is to know about the art of weaving/ restoring rugs and he is a great guy.

Flea & Street Markets
Kuşadası Bazaar is a vibrant and bustling market that offers a wide variety of goods, from traditional Turkish souvenirs and handmade crafts to fresh produce, spices, clothing, accessories, carpets, perfumes, lanterns, and fake designer items. Located near the harbor in the heart of town, it provides an opportunity to immerse oneself in local culture while shopping for unique items such as textiles, jewelry, spices, and olive oils.
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.
Georgi K — Google review
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.
Alex H — Google review
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.
Mothusi — Google review
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.
Dave W — Google review
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.

Second time I've eaten here as a solo medical tourist having dental work. Very wide ranging menu that was perfect for my condition. Staff are very professional and attentive to everyone. Very friendly and most helpful. Food is very good, especially the deserts. Had 3 courses, single wine and coffee on first occasion; 2 courses and 2 wine on second. Price is reflective of the quality.

That restaurant is one of the best restaurants in terms of customer service. The boss/manager is very polite, always trying to help and cares if you are having a good time. In the matter of food, in my opinion it is one of the best restaurants to eat in. Especially myself recommend the "Pepper Stake" meal(2nd picture), which comes with an amazing serving of fries and grilled vegetables. Overall, I highly recommend this place. P.s. 3rd picture is a Creamy Mushroom Stake

We were disappointed with the food after locals directed us to Kiwi restaurant - the mussels were deep fried and the batter was undercooked making them odd and inedible. The prawns and garlic mushrooms were the highlight, calamari and grilled squid wasn't the nicest that we had during our week. The staff were very helpful and friendly and the location is perfect overlooking ladies beach.

Gayret Restaurant in Kusadasi is a must-visit for food enthusiasts. This restaurant offers a wide variety of European and Turkish dishes, ensuring there's something for everyone. Visitors rave about the excellent service and delicious food, with particular praise for the Shepherd salad. The attentive host, Ahmet, ensures that guests feel like royalty during their dining experience. While the wait may be slightly long, the high-quality ingredients and overall dining experience make it well worth it.
Great place and great host. Food is just too good. Ahmet served us like we were royals. Love it.

Food was ok, once we received the check we found that they charged 10tl too much for a salad plus they added 10% tip on top of the total amount. Once I complained they knew immediately that they charged too much and explained that they always charge tip upfront… I feel like they are very greedy and won’t eat there anymore.

Went to this place mainly for a hookah pipe smoke, but also had a meal, mine was fine but 4 other dishes were either very overcooked (steak and calamari) or undercooked (2 chicken steaks were not cooked fully) Staff were friendly and helpful but wouldn't go back unless they improve the food options

So i only eat one meal here as on a cruise that is all that was aloud but amazing food. I had chicken and beef kebab. The pita was freshly made by hand on the spot, with not too salty but amazing delicious. May be because of 6km walks but totally worth the extra effort to come here! Enjoy. 10 eur per kebab.

After a single visit to this establishment, I decided to have my morning meal there on a daily basis. I sampled a variety of dishes and found them all appetizing. The location is in close proximity to the most stunning shoreline, offering picturesque views. The presentation of the food and the level of service were both top-notch! The personnel were exceedingly affable. The prices are reasonable considering the quality, location, and service provided! I highly recommend this place to everyone!
During our holiday in Kusadasi in June, we dined at the wonderful Sherwood Restaurant and Bar. This Turkish restaurant is nestled within the resort on Ladies Beach, serving an extensive range of grilled meats and Turkish specialties. From the moment we arrived, we were warmly welcomed by the staff, who immediately set a relaxed, inviting atmosphere. The owner would regularly come and chat we us after we had our meals. He even took us back to our hotel in his own car as I was using crutches. We started our meal with a selection of mezze, Lavas (Turkish puff pillow) bread, including hummus, baba ghanoush, and stuffed vine leaves. Each dish was fresh and flavourful, with the bread served alongside warm and soft—perfect for dipping. The highlight was the sigara börek—crispy filo pastries filled with a creamy cheese mixture, light yet indulgent. For the mains, I opted for the T-bone steak that they specially select, while my wife and daughter chose the chicken kebab. My granddaughter enjoyed some pasta. The steak was tender and perfectly seasoned, cooked over charcoal for a subtle smoky flavour. The chicken was equally succulent, served with a tangy yoghurt sauce that complemented it beautifully. Both dishes came with fluffy rice and a fresh salad on the side. To finish, we some small puff pastry cakes, which was sweet and sticky. My granddaughter had the brownies every time we ate there. Overall, an ideal end to the meal. Overall, the food was exceptional, the service attentive, and the setting perfect for a relaxed holiday evening. Highly recommended!

We were at this place for lunch. Unfortunately, we can't recommend it. The prices are very high (we live in Europe and to be honest, these are the prices of European lunch not Turkish), but the quality does not very good. I took a kebab - on photo, which cost 600 lira (16 euros), everything was greasy and there were no greens. A latte coffee cost 200 lira (6 euros)?!! We walked 100 meters and saw the same coffee for 100. My friend took a salad, but we also could not understand why the prices were so high with overcooked, tasteless food. I read below that there is a different menu for tourists from Europe, and to be honest, I would not be surprised if this is true. The staff are familiar and impolite too. European tourists already know a lot about Turkish food and prices, unfortunately you can cheat, but people will not come back to you. As a business owner, I advise you to look at quality, and not at how to take more money from tourists once

I'm not sure which restaurant some of the other reviews are talking about and why this restaurant has not had 5** from everyone who eats here ( maybe the chef has changed), but trust my review.. I'm a fussy eater, well travelled and wave the flag for straight talk, no nonsense, and nothing passes my lips if it doesn't look, smell, or taste good! We ate here on Tuesday while watching the most amazing sunset. Firstly the atmosphere is intimate and perfect for an evening meal, it's clean, the tables are heavy wood, ivy clings to the pillars and cascades across the ceiling, adding to the experience. Besides the ambiance, lets get to brass tacts. the food and prices I ordered chicken and my bestie and 2x a year travelling buddy ordered fajitas. The waiters were attentive without lurking, we had turkish flat bread and dips which were complimentary and a welcome nibble while our food was being cooked. Our food arrived, well presented included seasoned vegetables/salad, mini roasted potatoes in skins, perfectly cooked rice. I really couldn't fault any of the dishes. The strawberry daiquiri was massive, my only criticism would be it needs more flavour, maybe alcohol.... I couldn't quite but my finger on it, nonetheless it was still the best I've had so far (although more expensive than other restaurants close by). We intend to visit again tonight to try the pasta dish I clocked on a neighbouring table. Will let you know how it is and be sure to get photos this time!!!! Oh forgot to mention they have an openish kitchen and clay oven which smells amazing and adds that extra something to the flavour of dishes. Like all reviews, this is just my opinion and my palette will be different to yours.

Very good food and friendly service. We have been here twice during our stay and from the restaurants we ate, this was the best one. We had iced coffee (loved it) and mezes and some (vegetarian and meat) dishes.

A total disappointment, the prices from the menu and the pictures are not the same, the dish I ordered, more precisely the grilled octopus. I got one octopus leg with two small cherry tomatoes. When asked what this is, why isn't the dish the same as in the picture. The answer I got was that it was a starter that the rest was not in the price and That the waiter should have explained to me what I get when ordering that dish price was 860TL which would be about 20€ For a small piece that I think has been overpriced. Big big disappointment

A genuinely lovely place to eat. The atmosphere is welcoming, lively but also quiet it you want to sit upstairs on the terrace. The staff are great, fantastic customer service. Very accomodating to your needs. They love a bit of banter. The food is lovely and well priced. Would recommend this place to anyone.

Lovely place for a drink, a great sea view. Exceptional food and service. Special thanks to 007. Went out of their way to get fresh limes from a tree out the back.
