Priene ancient town is located 35 kilometers away from Kusadasi. It retains ruins which include several columns of the Temple of Athena, much of the city wall, a well-preserved theater and a council chamber. Priene’s history dates back to 2000 BC. The ancient town itself is located on a hillside, which means that in order to see it, visitors will need to climb the stairs. But since this hill is full of gorgeous pines, it makes walking quite pleasant. Sightseeing took us about an hour and a half. The ruins are open to visitors every day, 08:00-18.30, in winter - until 17:30. #historicplaces #ruins #turkey

Ladies Beach (Kadinlar Denizi) is the most popular public beach in Kusadasi. The beach is located 2 km away from the town and it is easy to get there from any part of Kusadasi. There is always something to do on Ladies beach. There are water sports, restaurants, bars and plenty of cafes. Visitors can rent sun beds and umbrellas for a small fee. The sand is soft and the water is clean and we got really lucky because at the time we went there it was almost empty so we could really enjoy our day on the beach. The best time to go there is during the week days, it is mostly empty, but during the weekends the beach is very crowded. We also enjoyed a lunch at the nice restaurant with the view! #beachlife

The symbol of Kusadasi town - Pigeon Island, is one of the best places to watch the panoramic view of the beautiful town and enjoy the sunset. The island is also know as a place where birds are coming during the seasonal migrations that is why it was named Pigeon Island. It is a small Island located just a few hundred metres from the mainland and connected by a walkway. You’ll always find something to do there like walk around and take pictures, watch the sunset or have a drink at one of the cafes in the island and with beautiful scenery. There is a fortress built by the Ottomans to prevent the attacks from the surrounding islands. It is now a calm, peaceful, relaxing place with terraced landscapes, teahouses and cafes. #historicplaces

Great place to spend a day near Kisadasi! We went there for a picnic and took a long walk around the park. The park offers a great combination of outdoors activities in the forest and in one the gorgeous beaches, so you can enjoy both! It is a great place to dive. The water is crystal clear and there are a lot of fish. There are facilities on offer such as benches, picnic tables, toilets and shower facilities. If you don’t like to have a picnic then you can have a nice lunch in one of the cafes in the park. In Dilek National Park you can find many species of animals and plants brought from all over the world, including very rare ones. Here you can meet wild boars, lynx and jackal, caracal and striped hyena. We only met wild boars, they are willingly going to the beach even in the presence of people. We went to the park from Kusadasi by taxi and it took around 40 minutes. The park is open daily from 08:00 to 18:30. #beachlife #themepark #staycation #campingglamping

On the third night in Türkiye, we stayed at Seven for Life in Kusadasi, It was already 7:00 pm when we arrived. They couldn't see clearly in the hotel. They only saw the swimming pool with lights. It was a bit cold night and the occupancy rate of the restaurant was very high. The indoor seats are full of people, Later, seats in the outdoor swimming pool area were opened. But my heart is hot and not cold at all, On the contrary, I felt that dinner by the pool seemed romantic. There was live music during the meal, which was very lively. From time to time during lyrical songs, people would come on stage to hug each other and dance. Quite Turkish 🇹🇷 romantic. In fact, the hotel scene is a bit different from what I saw. What I saw online was an exclusive beach with sea views. But I didn’t even see the scene... But comparing with other photos on the Internet, it seems to be the same room... In the morning, the mountain view from the balcony is also pretty good. Maybe it's the seat in the room, I never saw the sea. Breakfast is a very Turkish style meal. A pair of bread, cheese and I don’t know much about cooking. All you can do is come in and eat as the locals do!

Kuşadası is located in the western part of Turkey and was once one of the ancient Greek city-states. Kuşadası is a beautiful island, so small that it is also known as Bird Island because it resembles a bird in size. Kuşadası is most famous for its wonderful beaches and leisurely seaside promenade. We strolled along the promenade, with the deep blue sea on one side and various artistic shops on the other. It might not be the peak season for European and American vacations, so there weren't many people around. Leisurely listening to the waves, watching people enjoy their fishing time in a lazy manner, the reflection of the yellow lighthouse in the sea, everything was beautiful and quiet, with an atmosphere of peaceful times.

My trip to Kusadasi Turkey is something I do every year to visit my family. This year was much better as the summer in London had been very cold and rainy. It was a breath of fresh air and plenty of sunshine as usual. Turkey is such a beautiful country. ❤️😍#trip.com #turkey #travelturkey #kusadasi #summer

If you are driving to the ancient city of Ephesus, you can stay in Kusadasi, a warm and prosperous coastal city. This trip is in the off-season. I was lucky enough to book a room with an incomparable sea view in Double Tree. Just sitting on the balcony and enjoying the beautiful scenery is worth the price. This trip is in vain.

Kusadasi, which I stopped by without a plan in Selcuk,, It was nice to be able to see the Mediterranean (Aegean) seaside. There are many souvenir shops that I like on the way to the sea, and there are many terrace bars and restaurants, so it's great to enjoy. Drinking beer while looking at the sea and groaning🫰🏼 There was a Starbucks Turkish tumbler that wasn't in other areas, so I got it right away! I liked it so much that I wanted to stay in Kusadasi next time. I regretted booking a place to stay in Selcuk,, If you take a dolmushi from Selcuk Otogar, you'll arrive quickly! It seems like it would be good to combine it with Selcuk Ephesus🙂 #Overseas travel #Turkiye #Kusadasi #Travel #Hot place

Compared to Troy, Bai Jiameng I have not heard of before, but it does not mean that it is not worth seeing. When I visited, I was fascinated by the stunning theater in Baijiameng. The ancient city of Baijiameng is a small city facing the Aegean Sea. It flourished in the second century BC and is now known as the ruins of the kingdom with Greek culture. The ruins are large in size, with large amphitheatre that can accommodate more than 2,000 people, the ruins of many temples, the remains of stadiums and sports fields. The ancient city of Baijiameng is located on a high ground in the city of Gama, Turkey, so the cable car is built for tourists to visit. The cable car is free and runs for a short time, about 5 minutes. The wind in Baijiameng is very, very large, because it is on the top of the mountain. In the winter, you need to bring gloves and scarves. The hat is recommended not to be taken. It will be blown away and you can wear hooded clothes. After the summit, the ruins of the ancient city are displayed in front of you, and the old glory of the ancient city seems to be felt. Baijiameng is the capital of the Kingdom. At that time, the academic and artistic standards were comparable, and it was comparable to Alexander in Egypt at the same time.

I have to say here that the various levels of consumption in countries with less developed economies are really heart-warming. [Is this the reason for this rich taste of money? ] The name of the off-season seems to be Golden Day less than 200 soft sisters a night, standing on the terrace to see the bay not far away, and the big orange slide, and! ! ! Very good buffet breakfast~ Continue on the road to Pigeon Island. Here is a 5TL for an hour of sunset... There is also a lot of boutique coffee shops on Ladies Beach worth a try~~~

It is said that more than 300 BC, Alexander the Great left the treasures of the country in Baijiameng on the way to Persia. He believes that this highland city is the safest place. However, what I didn't expect was that Alexander died in India at the age of 32 because of yellow fever, and the general who stayed in Baijiamen to take care of the treasures claimed to be the king in the local area. Since then, Bai Jiameng, a kingdom with a Greek cultural background, has experienced five or six kings for more than 150 years. The library in Baijiamen is said to be no less than the library of Alexandria, with a collection of 200,000 books. As a result, the Egyptian dynasty was very embarrassed about this library, prohibiting the export of special paper. and Bai Jiameng invented the alternative parchment, which was widely used as a substitute for paper in medieval Europe. Baijiameng's fine art is also very good. It is called the carving of the Baijiameng faction and is a particularly prominent work in Greek cultural sculpture. Now, all of these items are housed in the Bergama Museum in Berlin, Germany. Baijiameng had a Zeus altar in the past. It is a particularly prominent work in Greek cultural sculpture. It is the largest and most preserved temple of Zeus. It can be said that it was the artistic treasure of the classical architecture at that time, but in the 19th century. Moved to Berlin by the Germans, leaving only a pile of loess for Turkey.
