Kusadasi Shore Excursion

Kusadasi Shore Excursion

At 9 am, we'll meet at the port of Kusadasi to begin a walking tour exploring the main attractions of this spa town in the province of Ayd?n.

We will first admire the exterior of the Öküz Mehmed Pasha Caravanserai, an example of Ottoman architecture in Kusadasi. Participants will learn about caravanserais and their role in the trade routes of ancient times. This location has been converted into a hotel and has hosted former U.S. President Jimmy Carter.

Afterwards, we will proceed to the island of Güvercinada, connected to the mainland by a footbridge. Here, we will see an ancient castle surrounded by defensive walls that are nearly 3 meters high, which were important in preventing attacks during a Greek revolt in the 18th century.

Continuing our exploration, we will learn about the history of Kusadasi and notable figures who have visited the city as we head to the Grand Bazaar, an ideal location for purchasing souvenirs.

The tour will conclude back at the port of Kusadasi between 11:30 am and 12 pm.
