Hotels in Kuşadası, Turkey

Kuşadası, the cruise ship port and seaside resort town 18 km (11 miles, 25 minutes' drive) southwest of Selçuk(Ephesus), serves visitors who want sea views, extensive shopping and nightlife, and cruise passengers debarking for a day-tour to the Ephesus archeological site.

Many visitors are sun-&-fun escorted tour participants or vacationers coming to rent a villa or apartment and spend many days at the beach.

Most hotels in Kuşadası tend to be modern. Noise can be a problem at hotels in the city center, because of traffic and the town's party atmosphere. Keep this in mind when you choose your room.

Here are my favorites:

Charisma Deluxe Hotel

Located right on the seacoast 1.9 km (1.18 mile) north of the city center, this 5-star hotel has a good location: you're away from the noise of the city center, but you can walk there along the shore boulevard in about 25 minutes. All 133 guest rooms have sea-view balconies, whirlpool baths, and the other expected amenities. The hotel's 61-meter (200-foot) private beach has water sports and diving facilities. Good choice if you're looking for a modern, upscale, not-too-large seaside hotel. More...
