You can visit the Aqua Family Water-park just 5 minutes drive from the city.
5. Cultural and historical heritage from the time of ancient Greece, proximity to Ephesus, attractive excursions are just additional attractions that the city offers to its visitors. Ephesus is an ancient and well-preserved ancient Greek city only a 30-minute drive away. Here you can visit one of the most preserved libraries of antiquity (the Celsius Library). You need to try Ephesus beer and the so-called Mado ice cream while in Ephesus.
6. Kuşadası has a typical Mediterranean climate with warm summers and mild winters, so the tourist season lasts a long time. The clear blue sea and the abundance of beaches (7 large and long sandy beaches) and the bay are the symbols of the city. The most famous beaches are: Long Beach (20km), Ladies Beach (2km), Kustur Beach (4.5km) and Pamucak Beach (12km). On a clear day it is possible to see the Greek island of Samos, just over an hour away by boat.
7. In the dynamic center of Kusadasi there is a Grand Bazaar / Market that will give you a sense of true Orient. The town market runs late into the night. A bargain is a must here. The market is full of stalls, shops and street vendors offering a variety of goods (textiles, leather, tea, carpets, spices, and more). It is best to buy spices for measurement, as you will be sure that they are fresh (gift packages with spices can be of doubtful shelf life). If you love the Turkish tea drinking ritual you can buy very cheap lala cay bardaklar glass glasses. High quality olive oil from domestic production (Tariş brand). The spices are varied (for example, “sumac” goes fantastic with salads and chicken, cumin or “corek otu” added to pies and cakes. Here you can try the so-called “street food” and almond, hazelnut, pistachio sweets that make Turkey famous in the world.
8. For the younger population, the city offers the famous Bar street, where you will have an incredible time until the early hours of the morning.
9. Apart from the mentioned Ephesus, there are famous ancient historical monuments in the vicinity of the city: Hierapolis (Pamukkale), Didima and Milet, houses of the Virgin that you can (optional) visit. Admission to Pamukkale is charged (about 2 Euros per person).
10. The ancient city of Ephesus changed its center in the past, due to the hydrography of the Kayster River, which deposited the area with sediments and brought in a huge amount of material. Over time, the river upgraded enough land to permanently separate the city from the sea.
The city of Ephesus today looks like a science fiction movie city. Architecture and everything in the city associate with the sea even though there is no sea. Of the Amazons who allegedly founded the city through Persian rulers and Alexander the Great, this is a city that has always recorded some form of development. It was the commercial and cultural center of the region with an ancient population of over 250,000.

Measured by today’s standards and scale, the figure would be about 2 million inhabitants. The city celebrated the goddess Artemis. It has remained known for hundreds of years as a goddess city that protects mothers and women. An interesting fact to the supporters of the interpretation of popular theories of religion is that the city was chosen by its second holy mother a couple of hundred years later – the Virgin, i.e. the Virgin Mary. You should visit the Gate of Augustus or the Hadrian Temple, or the Trajan Fountain, or perhaps the Church of John, built on the site of the tomb of John the Evangelist. However, the most interesting is the house of the Virgin Mary. The humble house represents the place where the Virgin Mary took refuge after her son’s death, the place where apostle John brought her according to tradition. . In the legends, this house is related to the residence of the Apostle Paul. The house is a religious and pilgrimage center and has 3 to 4 rooms. Many theists and atheists have reported very strange and positive reactions after visiting this house. Entrance costs 3 Lire for locals, and around 13 Lire for foreigners (6.5 Euros). If the entry price is too expensive, take the opportunity and take a walk around and look around the house. It is a local custom to be silent inside and not speak a word out loud. Bring a pen and paper because you can write down the wish and leave it in. Ephesus is just a locality today. All you need from city amenities is in Seldzuk (a town with 30,000 people 3 km from Ephesus). The bus costs around 1 Euro and is worth it if you want to shop and eat locally and see the Ephesus Museum.
