Kuşadası is a resort town and cruise port on the southern Aegean coast, a short drive from the ancient city of Ephesus. Hotels stretch from the town centre along the coast to the north and south, so your driver takes you directly to your address.

From ADB south towards Selçuk and the coast

Leaving the airport, the driver heads south rather than into İzmir, usually joining the motorway towards Aydın. The road crosses the farmland of the Küçük Menderes valley, and the exit for Selçuk comes after roughly half an hour.

From Selçuk a local road runs past the entrance area of Ephesus and on to the coast, reaching Kuşadası after about 15 km. This last section is a normal two-way road with junctions, which is why the trip takes longer than the distance suggests.

Combining the transfer with Ephesus

Because the route passes so close to Ephesus, some travellers ask about stopping there on the way. A standard transfer is a direct ride, so plan a visit to the ruins, the House of the Virgin Mary or Şirince village as a separate excursion once you have checked in and left your luggage at the hotel. If you are joining a cruise in Kuşadası, give the port as the drop-off and allow comfortable time before boarding.

Leaving Kuşadası for your flight

A good rule is to be picked up about four hours before an international departure: up to around 100 minutes on the road plus check-in time, with a margin for traffic around Selçuk in summer. From Davutlar or Güzelçamlı, add another 20 minutes.
