Tour Details

At the designated time, we'll meet outside the exit gate of the Port of Ku?adas? to commence a walking tour exploring the main attractions of this spa town in Ayd?n province.

We will begin by viewing the exterior of the Öküz Mehmed Pasha Caravanserai, an example of Ottoman architecture. You'll learn about caravanserais and their role in ancient trade routes. This caravanserai has been repurposed into a hotel and has hosted former U.S. President Jimmy Carter.

Next, we will proceed to the Güvercinada island, accessible via a footbridge. Here, we will observe an ancient castle with defensive walls nearly 3 meters high, which played a crucial role during a Greek revolt in the 18th century.

The tour will continue with insights into the history of Kusadasi and notable figures associated with the city as we make our way to the Grand Bazaar, a good location for souvenir shopping.

We will conclude the Kusadasi tour back at the starting point after approximately 2.5 to 3 hours.
