Explore Beaches
Kusadasi is the place to be for beach lovers.
Ladies Beach is super popular. It's just a short drive from Kusadasi. The beach has sand and pebbles and lasts a while. You can do fun water sports like jet-skiing and parasailing. There are also plenty of chairs and umbrellas if you just want to relax. And when you get hungry, there are many places to eat and drink nearby.
Love Beach is for those who like it quiet. It's a big stretch of golden sand not too far from Kusadasi. It's not usually crowded, so you can have your own space. There's a little shop and café if you need snacks, and a shady area for picnics.
Try Local Food
Don't leave Izmir without trying the tasty Turkish food! Go to the restaurants by Izmir Town's harbour for some delicious meals and a view. You can try things like kebabs, fresh fish, and yummy desserts.

Enjoy The Night Life and Bar Scene
At night, Izmir comes alive with lots of energy. You can enjoy it at hotels that host Turkish nights. You'll see cool belly dancing and traditional music in a historic castle. Or, if you prefer something more bustling, head to Bar Street in Kusadasi. There are about 30 bars that start hopping around midnight and stay open until 4 in the morning.
If you're more of a laid-back evening person, visit a Turkish bath in Kusadasi's old town. These baths are open until late and offer a relaxing experience. You'll also find many British-owned bars serving traditional food and cosy Turkish restaurants. And if you're craving seafood, head to the restaurants by the harbour.
Find Good Deals At The Markets
Check out the Wednesday Market in Kusadasi for clothes, leather goods, and shoes. There are many booths to browse in this area. If you want to buy souvenirs, take a stroll through Kaleiçi, the old town. Boutique shops sell all sorts of cool stuff, from handbags to local crafts. And if you're in the mood for luxury shopping, visit the Grand Bazaar and Orient Bazaar for jewellery, rugs, and ceramics.
