Kuşadası sits on the Aegean coast 90 km south of İzmir Airport, a drive of about an hour and twenty minutes on the O-31 motorway and coast road. Most arrivals come through İzmir (ADB); Bodrum (BJV) is the alternative at 185 km and closer to three hours, which only makes sense if your flight lands there.

Cruise calls and Ephesus
Kuşadası is Turkey's busiest cruise port and the closest harbour to Ephesus, 20 km inland. Ship calls are short, so timing matters: an Ephesus visit plus the drive both ways fits comfortably in four hours, and we schedule the return against your all-aboard time rather than the sailing time.
Where you are staying
The town itself is compact, but the resort strip is not. Ladies Beach is 3 km from the centre, Long Beach 5 km, and the Davutlar hotels 15 km further south towards the national park. Give us the hotel name at booking so the pickup allows for it, particularly for early flights out of İzmir when the coast road carries commuter traffic.
