Kusadasi is a relative newcomer on the European beach scene, having only been established by yachters about 25 years ago. Before these sailors first moored at the tiny harbour in the 1980s, Kusadasi was a typical Turkish village of fishermen and farmers. Where dirt roads once barely tread, a concrete sprawl has now engulfed the entire township creating Turkey’s most popular and hedonistic beach destination on the Aegean coast.

The closest airport to Kusadasi is an hour away at Izmir’s Adnan Menderes Airport. It is one of Turkey’s best-equipped airports, handling daily flights from all over the country and abroad. Besides Turkish National Airlines, a number of other global and regional carriers provide regular direct flights, making Izmir the most convenient international gateway to Kusadasi.
