PROGRAM 
 

Kusadasi indeed is a perfect getaway for tourists, truly a wonderful escapade to paradise.

Kusadasi is usually said to be one of the most beautiful cities facing the Aegean Sea since the scenery and landscape of the area is just as fascinatingly beautiful as its history. It has been a center of art and culture not only of Turkey but also of many civilizations since it was founded in 3000 B.C. Today, it resembles a modern European city. Because of its hot Mediterranean climate for roughly 92% of the year, so Kusadasi has become one of the most traveled destinations in Europe.

The Kusadasi city has an open sea side at the back of the peninsula, where public beaches are located. Among the most popular swimming spots in town is the Ladies Beach, town beach, Bird Island Beach and on and on.

Kusadasi offers top class restaurants, a number of aqua parks, high-starred hotels and beach bars. Along with such amenities is Turkey’s natural scenery of open beaches lined with palm trees, blue waters and clear skies, and historical sites that are Turkey’s memoirs of the past.

Pigeon Island

Pigeon Island, with its gleaming image, really deserves to be symbol of Kusadasi. The eye-catching view of the island, uniting with the panoramic colors of sunset attract every visitors. As the island was much-frequented place of birds during the seasonal migrations, it was named as Bird Island.

National Park

The ideal place to escape from town fuss and noise is a well-merited rest and beach afternoon in the national park  of Kalamaki in the "Dilek Peninsula". Located approx. 30 km South of Kusadasi, it is only 1-2 km far from the Greek island Samos.

Enjoy the panoramic views of the city and Bay of Izmir from the walls of Kadifekale, an ancient fortress built by Alexander the Great. Visit the city's symbol, its Ottoman Clock Tower. Finally, penetrate its elaborate bazaar (one of my favorites in all of Turkey) which stretches for blocks. You can see the best of Izmir in only 3 hours!

Kadifekale (on Mt. Pagos)

Kadifekale (or ‘Velvet Castle’) was supposedly built after Alexander the Great received a vision in the 4th century BC. Many antiquities belonging to the Hellenistic, Roman, Byzantine and Ottoman times found here can be seen in the İzmir Archeology Museum. 

Kemeraltı, İzmir’s Old Bazaar

Kemeraltı is the crowded trade area where Ottoman-style buildings abound. This area has a rich cultural heritage thanks to its old streets, squares, historical and religious buildings. Spice, candy, and textile shops which have been passed from generation to generation are still satisfying customers from all over the world.

Hisar Mosque (1592), Kestane Bazaar Mosque (1663), Kemeraltı Mosque (1671), Kızlarağası Inn (1741), Konak Yalı Mosque (1754), Ethnography Museum (1831), The Clock Tower (the symbol of the city for over one hundred years) are among the multicultural elements that have decorated the city for hundreds of years.

Pergamon was a small settlement during the Archaic Period. Lysimachos, one of the generals of Alexander the Great and who had become the sovereign of Anatolia after 301 B.C., delivered the war expenditures, at the amount of 9000 talents (1 talent is believed to be US$ 7,500 approx.), to Philetarios who was the commander of Pergamon, and the kingdom founded by Philetarios by using this sum of money following Lysimachos's death, flourished and became the most eminent center of culture of the Hellenistic period for 150 years. Eumenes I, Attalos I and Eumenes II were enthroned successively after Philetarios. Eumenes II took acropolis of Athens as an example and had the acropolis of Pergamon adorned with works of art which reflected fine taste, and Pergamon became one of the most graceful cities of the world. Attalos III who succeeded Attalos II, handed over his land to the Romans when he died in 133 B.C.
