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.

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.

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.
Paul A — Google review
Pleasant town with many Bazaars & restaurants. Friendly locals make your walk through the town interesting 🤔
Scott P — Google review
Lots of cool crap here. It is mostly that, but if you are in the market for some counterfeit goods, you can find them here. Some of the fake watches are actually really great. I was talking with one of the vendors and they seemed really transparent about the different qualities. They sell fake/fake, semi/fake, and authentic/fake. They fake/fake are mostly made in China and garbage. The Semi/fake is mostly the same. The authentic/fake usually have solid movements intended to be of quality just way cheaper. I didnt buy any of it, but I found the information useful and maybe someone else will as well.

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.
Celene — Google review
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.

Day 2

Proximity is everything
For day 2, we bundled attractions like Kuşadası Alışveriş ve Yaşam Merkezi and Tortuga Pirate Island Theme & Water Park and other places within a close range, so that the time it takes to travel between all of them is less than one hour. Combined with the average time people spend there, your day should take about 8 hours.

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).

D's Damat - Wonderful Experience! We returned to D’s Damat after purchasing a suit last year, still impressed by the craftsmanship and enduring quality of their tailoring. On this occasion, we were once again flabbergasted by the elegance of the garments and the meticulous attention to detail that sets this brand apart. Our gratitude extends in particular to Serhat, who provided exceptional guidance throughout our visit. His product knowledge, refined manner, and keen eye for fit and style ensured that the experience was both effortless and enjoyable. Serhat’s ability to understand our preferences and present options with such precision is a testament to his expertise and customer-focused approach. For those seeking sartorial excellence paired with impeccable service, D’s Damat remains an unqualified recommendation.

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)

Water park
Water & Amusement Parks
Tortuga Pirate Island Theme & Water Park is a pirate-themed outdoor water park that offers a variety of attractions for visitors of all ages. The park features numerous slides, pools, and a dedicated kids' area, making it an ideal destination for families. Additionally, guests can enjoy dining at the on-site restaurant. The facility is well-maintained and clean, with locker facilities available for storing valuables. Visitors can also rent cabanas for added comfort during their visit.
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.
Paul G — Google review
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.
Gary H — Google review
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.

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!!!

Beach
Outdoor Activities
Kusadasi Long Beach, also known as Uzun Plaj, is a popular destination with its pristine sandy shores and clear waters. It's a Blue Flag beach offering excellent facilities for visitors. Families enjoy the refreshing sea and kids love playing in the sand. While it can get crowded during peak season, there are still opportunities to find peaceful spots along the coast. Visitors can explore nearby cafes and restaurants or take a leisurely sunset walk along this spacious beach.
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.

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!

The beach is long, but very narrow. On the public sections of the beach there is a lot of trash. If you stay at a hotel, they maintain the private section, but cram 2 or 3 rows of sunloungers as close as possible into the narrow beach. The sea has waves on most afternoons, is calm in the morning. The water is cloudy and there is a strip of pebbles/rocks when entering. There is a long walkway along through beach and the views ofnthe mountains are nice.

Op woensdag kleding markt. Alles overdekt maar Erg druk! Laat je niet overdonderden de verkopers, maar loop eerst de hele markt over. De bovenverdieping is rustiger. Probeer het spel van afdingen mee te spelen. Loop dus gerust weg. Want komen wel weer terug achter je aan voor verdere onderhandelingen. Je kunt gewoon betalen met euro tegen actuele koers. 50/60 procent afdingen is normaal als je het goed doet. Ze zetten echt heel hoog in met de prijs als ze zien dat je toerist bent. En ze hebben allemaal trucjes, ze drukken alles al ingepakt in je handen en dat moet je nog onderhandelen. Leg het gewoon ff weg en pak het pas als je een goede prijs hebt bereikt. Kwaliteit is trouwens zeer slecht. schoenen van de kinderen vertonen na 2 dragen al ernstige slijtage sporen. Ook de donkere kleren eerste keer alleen wassen, het laat enorm af in de wasmachine( meerdere kleren mee verpest). Ook lagen er direct al logo’s los in de wasmachine. Kwaliteit had is ik eerlijkheidshalve beter verwacht. Meende omdat de verkopers aldoor aanprijzen dat dit niet in China wordt gemaakt maar in Turkije. Dit zijn ongeveer de prijzen die je zou moeten betalen. Setje fake voetbalkleren kids: 8 euro Fake trui Tommy hillfiger: 12 euro Fake polo: 12 euro Schoenen kinderen: 15-25 euro T shirt: 5 euro Update: maand verder. Blij dat ik flink heb afgedinkt. Kwaliteit blijkt erg slecht te zijn. Heel snel slijtage op kleding of verkleuren. Opgedrukte letters laten na 2 dagen los. (Translated by Google) Clothing market on Wednesday. Everything covered but Very busy! Don't be overwhelmed by the sellers, but first walk through the entire market. The top floor is quieter. Try to play the game of haggling. So feel free to walk away. Because they will come back after you for further negotiations. You can simply pay with euros at the current exchange rate. 50/60 percent haggling is normal if you do it right. They really set the price high when they see that you are a tourist. And they all have tricks, they press everything already wrapped into your hands and you still have to negotiate. Just put it away and only pick it up when you have reached a good price. Quality is very poor by the way. The children's shoes already show serious signs of wear after 2 wears. Also wash the dark clothes alone for the first time, they fade a lot in the washing machine (ruining several clothes). There were also logos immediately loose in the washing machine. To be honest, I expected better quality. I think because the sellers keep promoting that this is not made in China but in Turkey. These are approximately the prices you should pay. Set of fake football clothes for kids: 8 euros Fake sweater Tommy Hillfiger: 12 euros Fake polo: 12 euros Children's shoes: 15-25 euros T-shirt: 5 euros Update: month later. Glad I cut down quite a bit. Quality appears to be very poor. Very quickly wear on clothes or discolour. Printed letters come off after 2 days.
JR R — Google review
Large selection of items, if you haggle well you can get them for dirt cheap (20€ for a big leather designer bag cheap). Only giving it 4 stars because the sellers will pester you non-stop to come to their store, how they're the cheapest/best and if you do come they won't let you leave, even pulling you back by the hand.

Ok experience but a bit like China in the 90s very hungry sales men watch what you buy because u think u are getting what u want but the sizes are different then what u have asked for when they put it into the bag .beware on Wednesday clothing market also very cheeky. Do not pay over 8 euro for any polo shirts shoes 12 euro they will come up with mad prices like 25 per item but just walk away or haggle after all nothing is original, we do have tk maxx in Europe 😅

Köfteci Yusuf is a popular Turkish restaurant known for its affordable prices and generous portions. The menu offers a variety of options, including raw meat and traditional Turkish dishes. Upon arrival, guests are treated to complimentary salad, bread, tomato paste, and tea. Most meals also include a free drink. The restaurant has a local feel and is not overly touristy. While the staff may have limited English proficiency, they provide friendly service.
Cheap price with a large amount of food! This restaurant sells raw meat and also has a food menu. When you first enter, you have to sit in the restaurant section until the staff takes your order. Salad, bread and tomato paste and tea were free for everyone and most of the meals come with a drink (water or coke). The food quality is excellent and delicious, with a large atmosphere. Highly suggested.

We visited the canteen in December and early January 2024. We tried it for both visits: merjimek soup, burger with kefte, chicken wings, kefte, beef steak, yogurt, French fries, ayran. Additionally, salad, bread, adjika and black tea are always brought as a gift. Of the ordered dishes, I liked soup, salad, burger with kefte and kefte separately. They don't know how to cook steaks here – the meat is rubbery and overcooked. The chicken wings are partially burnt, partially with blood. There are no questions about the service - everything is fast. Overall impression: a good dining room with an optimal price-quality ratio (not a cafe, not a restaurant – I ate and left). Having lunch for two in Kusadasi for 300-400 Turkish lira in 2024 is an almost impossible task.

We had a dinner here. The experience was quite interesting. First we couldn’t understand each other with the staff (they don’t speak english). Second- the menu is with a QR code which sends you to their site, its okay but not for a tourist with no mobile data and no Wi Fi at the restaurant. Somehow we ordered something but we aren’t quite sure we get what we ordered. Its crowded and you can hardly find a vacant table. The main problem is they don’t speak english and there is no Wi Fi.

Değirmen has changed a lot. We used to invite our guests from abroad here to have a nice lunch or dinner. However, we have seen today that the prices have been Increased very much and the portion sizes have been reduced. The food was average. Quick reminder: to enter the zone where the restaurant is you have to pay an extra fee which was 35₺ for 3 people.

Day 3

Keep it simple
For day 3, these 4 places should be enough to fill your day with something exciting to do in Kusadasi. Start the day with Zeus Cave and make your way through the city to get to Yılancı Burnu. This should take about 8 hours of your day.

Zeus Cave

Historical landmark
Cavern set in forest & reached by a trail, with a striking blue pool that attracts swimmers.
The place is free, lots of people watching on site. The water in the cave is cold, but the climate is pleasant. Be careful of slippery rocks when going down. Interesting place.

recently had the opportunity to visit the Zeus Cave in Kusadası, and while the natural beauty of the cave is undeniable, I was deeply concerned about its current condition. I wanted to share my observations in the hope that they might assist in preserving this important natural site for future visitors. During my visit, I noticed several issues that need urgent attention: 1. Litter and Waste Management: The area surrounding the cave is littered with trash, including plastic bottles, food wrappers, and other debris. This not only detracts from the natural beauty of the site but also poses environmental hazards to the local ecosystem. 2. Safety Hazards: The paths leading to and from the cave, as well as the interior areas where visitors gather, are not well-maintained. There are loose rocks, uneven surfaces, and a lack of clear signage, which can be dangerous for visitors, especially those who are elderly or have mobility issues. 3. Overcrowding: There appears to be no regulation on the number of visitors allowed into the cave at one time. This leads to overcrowding, which not only diminishes the experience but also accelerates wear and tear on the natural formations within the cave. 4. Inadequate Facilities: There are limited facilities available for visitors, such as restrooms and seating areas. The few that are available are not well-maintained, which affects the overall visitor experience. Specifically, the toilets are not free and are in very poor condition. Given the state of these facilities, I would not recommend their use. 5. Mismatch with Promotional Materials: The actual conditions of the site do not match the expectations set by promotional materials. The promotional pictures depict a pristine and well-maintained natural site, which is far from the reality visitors encounter. This discrepancy is disappointing and misleading for tourists. Attached are some photos I took during my visit that illustrate these concerns. I believe that with better management and more resources dedicated to maintaining the site, Zeus Cave can continue to be a beautiful and safe destination for tourists. I hope this feedback is helpful and that steps can be taken to address these issues. Thank you for your attention to this matter.

Free entrance. It’s not a very big cave, but the view is beautiful. Even though swimming is prohibited, there were still people going into the water.
B. K — Google review
Disappointing, as in the morning, the sun wasn't visible to the cave, and therefore, you didn't see the clear blue water. Swimming is not aloud but people climb the rail to enter. It was located close to the road so the walk took only minutes to arrive.

Nice small cave filled with water. Very easy to reach and free to visit. But unfortunately, filled with litter. Due to lack of enforcement, People are swimming in the water eventhough it is forbidden

Nice spot to visit, but be aware it doesn't quite look like the photos people have posted. Water is indeed very clear, but it is a very small area. You can swim there, water is very cold. We parked near the picnic spot, only a short 200m walk to the cave.

Wow what an amazing find! I’m really glad I took the time to come here. It’s so beautiful and the water is crystal clear. Had a lovely swim, water wasn’t too cold at all. Really recommend a visit to this unique and beautiful place

The water is very chill and deep which makes it super cool to dive from rocks and swim in. Due to it’s popularity the sides of the water body are a bit polluted but the water seems to be clear and pure.

Wonderful stay! I had a lovely time at this hotel. The location is perfect—close to everything, yet quiet and peaceful. The breakfast was absolutely delicious with a great variety of fresh options. The owners were incredibly friendly and welcoming, always ready to help with anything we needed. The rooms were spotless and very comfortable.

We stayed for one night in room 303 with my wife and our puppy dog. The room was very quiet and exceptionally clean. The staff was friendly and helpful, and the location is fantastic. It's easily accessible, and you can walk to the city centre without any trouble. Overall, it's great value for money. The only thing that could be improved is the breakfast — it was okay, but there's room for improvement. Would definitely consider staying here again!
Mehdi K — Google review
We had such a wonderful stay here. The family running the hotel are incredibly kind and hospitable, and they truly make you feel at home. The property itself feels like an oasis in the middle of the old town – peaceful, with a lovely garden, a small swimming pool, sunbeds, and plenty of comfortable outdoor seating to relax in. Breakfast is a generous Turkish spread, and they also cook other dishes on demand. One evening we were even invited to a delicious barbecue dinner, which was such a special experience. The rooms are clean, air-conditioned, and equipped with everything you might need. There’s also a convenient car park right next to the property. Drinks are available at the bar, but you’re also welcome to bring your own, which is a nice touch. This place is a hidden gem – peaceful, welcoming, and full of charm. We loved our stay and would 100% recommend it to anyone visiting.

A great 2 star hotel in the centre of Kusadasi. An ideal place for our 3 night stay. Easy to get to from the Port where we arrived from Samos. A well run family hotel with breakfast provided and a pool. The garden area was also a nice place to relax and read.

We stayed in an attic room. It was clean and had an lovely view. The staff were really friendly, and the location was great—just a few minutes from the seaside, Kervansaray, and shops. The area is very touristy, and keep in mind the walk up to the hotel is uphill (like most streets nearby).
Inji A — Google review
My wife and I stayed here for a week and found the staff friendly and extremely helpful. It's a family run hotel and they are a lovely family. The hotel is located up a hill just a 5-10 minute walk from local shops, restaurants and bars and is an excellent location, with the added bonus of a garden. The hotel arranged our transport (at our cost) to and from Bodrum airport and our driver, Mr Sakir Yilmaz, was also excellent. Our room (104) was by the swimming pool which is open from 10 am until 8 pm, but not all parents were observant of these times - this was the only negative aspect during our stay. We will definitely stay there in future, but perhaps not when it's school holidays!

Jade Beach Club

3.2
(1420)
$$$$expensive
Bar
Jade Beach Club, located in Kusadasi, is a vibrant and popular entertainment center that has been a staple for locals and tourists since its establishment in 2004. Situated on 20 acres of land at Yilanci Cape, this beach club offers stunning views of the Aegean Sea and boasts a unique culinary experience. Whether you're looking to dance the night away in the nightclub or enjoy a delicious dinner with an ocean view, Jade Beach Club has it all.
American tourist. The local and specialty drinks are much better than your generic beach drinks. So stick to those options. The food was absolutely amazing. Who knew chicken schnitzel at a beach resort would be that good! The pizza for out kids was also very good. Was only here during the day, perfect place for families. Seems at night it may turn into more of a night club. Was a great stop for the afternoon of the cruise ship.
Timothy S — Google review
Be realistic about it. Going to a place curated for tourists and Instagram will obviously have prices scaled to what tourists would be accustomed to in their major cities. It is a business here to make money. It is not a local cheap spot. If you know what you are getting yourself into, appreciate it for what it is. No one forces you to come in. Once here, enjoy it and don’t order more than you can afford. Waitstaff were kind and accommodating to my party. Shade was adequate, drinks were fast, good and cold and the water was refreshing to swim in.
Carly G — Google review
Absolutely extortionate pricing. €40 entry on a Monday. With that price you receive one Toburg beer or soft drink, and a sun bed. I had two gin and tonics for approximately €34. The staff seriously could not care less. You’d think at that price they may come and take your empty glasses, ask if you want anything, or even smile. The beach itself was nice although empty glasses and litter from previous guests compromised the view and experience. The design/layout out of the club is nice if you’re looking to get aesthetically pleasing photos. Overall, save yourself the trouble and go right next door where the free beach is (it’s literally separated from the club by a few flags).
Remi G — Google review
Had the worst experience ever! Please do not come here it’s unnecessarily expensive and yet again extremely dirty and it was very difficult to find a sun bed which was clean and there was ants every where despite replacing the table ants will re appear most likely due to the lack of hygiene. Upon complaining to the staff they would react with no interest and making fun of the situation. Couldn’t even have my food at the table due to the ants it was an extremely horrible experience and service. There was delays in orders. I am extremely upset to have gone this experience, post Complaints they were talking behind my back and making fun. I am not someone that is bothered to write reviews, however the experience was so bad that I don’t want anyone to encounter such experience ! Please do not com here!
Gamze — Google review
Came in thinking the reviews were probably over exaggerating how bad the place was, but found out quickly they weren’t far off. Paying was fine, we expected it. Figured it would be curated to tourists, but was treated like we shouldn’t be there by staff. The female staff especially treated the women in our group terribly and glared at us whenever we came up to order something or ask a question. It also took them 10-15 minutes to tell us how much it costs to rent a towel as we stood around awkwardly while we were the only customers there. The beach was pretty (but litter everywhere, including broken glass) and a lot of spots for picture taking.
Amanda W — Google review
Disappointing experience. 🫤 We paid 1250 TL per person for entry, which included just two sunbeds (one of which was broken) and an umbrella, but no towels. The beach itself was dirty and covered with pebbles, nothing special at all. The place looked okay but definitely not worth the price, and the drinks were extremely overpriced. Wouldn’t recommend.

Overall experience: * 150 lira for entrance including one soft drink * Big facility including changing rooms, showers, bar and a restaurant, sun beds, umbrella * If you arrive afternoon between 12:00pm - 03:00pm you will have hard time finding a place to sit or lay * Very very slow service * No music after 05:30 pm * Water is nice and good entrance * Beach is not sand it is small stones * Great view on pigeon island and passing by cruise ships * Great spot for snorkeling * Prices are high similar to night club level

We just came here 14/09/2022 at 4.30PM and so disappointed already.They asked us to pay 15€ per person to enter.I told them I want to have a look first.So the beach is very small and very dirty.Cigarettes lying everywhere on the beach.No sand ,only stones,water cold.We went back and said maybe will come another day from morning as not worth it.They said to pay only for one person and enter with a free drink so here we are.No one here ,the music is not loud.A private beach not worth the money.Much more expensive than e.g. Italy,Greece.However,beautiful view,sea view and pigeon island ,that's all.I do not recommend.Better ladies beach.This is a trap😕

Yılancı Burnu

4.2
(912)
Park
Yılancı Burnu, located in Kusadasi, is a beautiful natural spot with stunning views and a peaceful atmosphere. It's within walking distance of Hacivat Shop Art Center and Yılancı Burnu Park, offering a serene garden view from the accommodation. Visitors can enjoy leisurely walks and admire the tranquil seaside scenery. The area also features a lovely beach that tends to be quiet outside of peak tourist seasons.
Very nice beach club.
Lana K — Google review
As others have mentioned the place needs some TLC. When you view from a distance it is stunning but when you get down to the beach near the Jade Beach Club, the beach is full of cigarette nubs and rubbish. You can find nice spots to sunbathe but the Jade Beach Club is not worth going to. The peninsula part itself has been taken over by filthy homeless tramps. They are hostile and have out signs up saying private property. It is not private property. I would have walked past them and just went where I wanted but the sun was just setting and I didn’t fancy being surrounded by crazy drunk bums at dark. The police nice to move them along and stop them destroying the natural beauty. The area needs some investment, development and cleaning
Mshup89 8 — Google review
You can see this small peninsula from the Kusadasi Castle, and you might be tempted to walk over and visit. If it’s 2024, I wouldn’t. Apparently the city is ok with someone squatting on the land (property lines seem to be very much up for grabs and unenforced in this area). There are hand painted signs that say “Private Property. No access allowed. There are dogs.” Very childish looking. The only dog we saw walked by us very friendly. There are some tents. It’s obvious that some homeless person is just trying to claim the land. Reading the other reviews, it seems like this is an old man and his three dogs trying to do something illegal - claim land that isn’t his. This is within 30 minute walking distance of the cruise port, so it’s quite surprising that the city authorities allow this behavior.

Place is closed to public. Dirty. Some weirdo either a dog supposedly keeps the place to himself. Shame as the place has a lot of potential like the country.
Efi K — Google review
The area appears to have been taken over by a gang of drunks who have pitched tents, erected signs saying “Private Property No Entry” and erected barriers preventing anyone from walking on the peninsula. I’m not sure how this is allowed to happen, but it has.

Looks much nicer from the distance! Unfortunately there is a lot of rubbish on the beach. Also Google Maps accidentally sent me on to private property where I was met by three large attack dogs on long chains. I had to run! Be careful getting here.

It is beautiful place, but it's not good for.a family, because young people sit and drink alcohol on the seaside with high bölüme music.

$$$$cheap
Turkish restaurant
Zumrut Pide Salonu is a Turkish cafe that serves good food with salads and tea. The portions are large and the prices are reasonable. The cafe is cozy and has an old Turkish tradition of asking if customers want to drink tea after their meal.
I have been visiting Kusadasi for some 20 years and I can't understand why I have never been here as it's opposite the Hammam that I use. Looks like a takeaway at first glance, but there is a large cobbled courtyard (with shade) where you can enjoy proper home cooked Turkish food prepared and served by friendly staff and all at a very good price. Highly recommended.

Zümrüt is the place for you if you are looking for a quick and easy Turkish lunch break. Much better price-quality ratio than other places in the busy and crowded center of town. Recommended!

This was an amazing place with all sorts of foods and drinks for everybody . The Food was so delicious it was served piping hot with fresh bread which all tasted amazing as well as salads for everybody included with the meal not changing the total price whether eaten or not that was served with lots of toppings. The food overall was fantastic! The Atmosphere was so nice as we were placed in a garden surrounded by lights and cozy Turkish decorations we also felt one with nature as pomegranate and orange trees were near us showing us the freshness along with a very authentic Pide Oven. We were also next to a mosque and could hear the beautiful call to prayer I personally think it’s a perfect place as it was situated perfectly near the Bazaar and nearby to Hotels

After ordering, we were all given complementary green salads. The main courses came soon after that which were wonderful! Everything that we had ordered was amazing! From the Pides to the Kebabs and Chicken. Would definitely visit again when coming to Kusadasi.

Highly recommended for seafood enthusiasts, Kiyi Balik Restaurant offers a delightful dining experience. Patrons can select from an array of mezes and receive helpful explanations if needed. The process is simple: indicate the desired fish and preferred cooking style, then sit back and enjoy. Aydin Bey expertly attends to your table without causing any disturbance. The wine recommendation is also superb. Bonus points are awarded for the picturesque sunset view, beachside location, and tranquil ambiance.
We ate there twice. Both times food was very fresh, service very fast, staff friendly, very helpful and professional. Mezze varied and tasty, fish and sea food fresh and excellently cooked. Setting right by the sea, beautiful sunset view. On top of that, I am grateful they kept for several days my little bag I had forgotten with my wallet, cards and cash inside. Returned it untouched. Big thank you!

We were visiting Zeus Cave and spotted this gem to have our lunch. Location, location and location. What a view! Take me back. 😍 Service was great. We ordered shrimp, calamari, barbun and another fish. I fell in love with the shrimp. The other main fish (levrek) was not that good. The reason for the 4 stars was the price policy. The prices are not visible so they can just say any price to you. And thats what threw us off. I think they should write it visual even if they need to rewrite it everyday they should. Dry- erase boards are for this reason. So before selecting your fish ask the price not to be surprised. Parking easy. Free wifi. Restrooms were not that clean. Actually they had washed it with detergent and like it was not dry. And was not a very good deal to walk in it. Safety hazard plus with my slippers the water - detergent was on my feet. 😳

Seafood restaurant
Nestled in the lively coastal town of Kusadasi, Kule Seafood Restaurant is a must-visit for seafood lovers. This charming eatery specializes in an array of dishes crafted from the freshest catches sourced directly from the Aegean Sea. Diners can indulge in traditional favorites such as calamari, prawns, and various locally-caught fish prepared to perfection—whether grilled or oven-baked.
The food was amazing, fish was very fresh and flavorful. The server Hali and the owner were both amazing and took time to sit down and talk with us. Highly recommended.

A chill restaurant next to the sea, you can see the cruises and enjoy the breeze as the restaurant is open. We bought two grilled çupra, each for 1000 lira, requested it not to be too dry. it came out delicious and perfect as how we wanted. My parents really enjoyed it. The service is 10/10, we felt really welcomed. Thank you for your service.

Located right on the shores with an excellent view so this place is not cheap by any measure but still worth a visit. The staff were very friendly and the food excellent. The fish soup is rich in fish taste, without the fishy smell. The fried shrimp nicely spiced and fresh, arriving on a hot plate. The best plate is the grilled calamari, so satisfyingly tasty.

If you’re looking for a place where the freshness of the sea meets a cozy, welcoming atmosphere, this fish restaurant is the spot. The catch of the day was cooked to perfection—flaky, tender, and seasoned in a way that let the natural flavors shine. I especially loved the grilled sea bass; it came with a crisp skin and a squeeze of lemon that made every bite light yet rich. The starters were just as impressive—the calamari was golden and crunchy without being greasy, and the seafood soup had that comforting homemade depth. Service was attentive but never pushy, and the staff clearly take pride in what they serve.
