Kuşadası sits south of İzmir on the Aegean coast. The drive leaves the airport, runs down the Aydın road and turns for the coast near Selçuk, which is why so many guests ask to add an Ephesus stop on the way.
The two directions are not the same length of time. Our records put the run out to Kuşadası at about 1 hour 20 minutes and the return at 1 hour 12. The difference sits in the last stretch: hotels here are spread from Ladies Beach in the north through the centre to Güzelçamlı in the south, and finding a specific door takes longer than leaving from one.
If you are arriving for a cruise, the port is in the town centre and the approach is straightforward outside the summer evening rush.
