The 10 Best Day Trips from in Kusadasi, Turkish Aegean Coast

June 28, 2021 Janean Rudisill

The beaches that stretch along Kudasi's Aegean coastline are as diverse in terrain as they are in ambiance. Ladies’ Beach, thusly named because it was once a for women only, is packed with nightclubs, souvenir vendors, restaurants and, of course, sunbathers and swimmers. Grass-lined Gold Beach is well-manicured and peaceful. Ride a horse from there to Long Beach, a playground of beach bars, pool tables and water sports.

This description was the best choice of what TripAdvisor had. What we actually had was a 16 day private tour of western and central Turkey focusing on archeology and history. There were 5 of us on this fabulous adventure. It wasn't exactly easy because of COVID and the lockdowns for citizens around Ramadan. We had to be tested both before and after the trip even though we are vaccinated and lots of shops and restaurants were closed BUT........ It was the GREATEST trip imaginable! Ertunga made sure we never lacked for anything, found us great restaurants and the accommodations were so special. Still, the highlights were the sites and the learning and the beauty of Turkey. We often had the popular sites all to ourselves. The sail boating on the Aegean Sea was terrific. I could list 100 things that were wonderful. Ertunga Ecir went above and beyond to give our group a superior and unforgettable trip -or-a-lifetime.

Very interesting piece of history to visit. The place is kept very clean. Toilets and restaurant areas spotless. The tour is amazing. We utilised one of the guides for around 35 euros. So glad we did.

While most Americans are uncertain about Turkeys politcal stability as a tourist, I can assure you that all those fears are unfounded and with the help of our Wonderful guide Engin we discovered Turkey in several dimensions. He gave us all great insight on the history of Turkey and the dinamics with surrounding countries through the centuries. Engin is a super attentive and caring man. We had a chance to his little Jr and my kids had a blast. Engin helped us coordinate many different activities and manage the change of plans super nicely. I not only recommend Turkey as a great destination with awesome food and drinks super nice and receptive people to everyone but Engin as a wonderful attentive guide for anybody's tour needs within his entire country. His knowledge not only of the history but the geography furnishes tourists with a great vivid image of Turkey then and now.
