Kushadasi
Many cruising ships travelling around the Aegean Islands stop here. Kushadasi is a good base to explore this and other ancient cities like Priene and Didyma.
Although there is a little historical interest in Kushadasi itself, the town is popular predominantly because of its many hotels, restaurants, souvenir and carpet shops, and lively nightlife. The Kale district has some old traditional houses and narrow streets, and gives some indication of what the town used to be like. The most famous beach is Kadinlar Plaji (Ladies' beach), 2.5km south of the town, dominated by huge hotels and can get crowded in summer. There are several small beaches further south, and closer to town is Yilanci Burnu, the peninsular.
