If you want alcoholic beverages to accompany your meal, you can choose fish restaurants close to the center of Kuşadası, around the harbor. Apart from the fish restaurants in the region, you can find alternatives where you can eat red meat. If you prefer a more modest meal, we recommend you to try the small pita makers in the region. Also, you can find very good examples of Aydın pita in the district.

Dilek Peninsula, which is about 50 km from the center, should be the first stop of your trip in Kuşadası. This large area, which is a National Park, looks like an open air museum that offers a closer look at the deep-rooted history of the region. In the park, you can see the Aya Yorgi and Haigos Antonios monasteries, Thebes and Panionion ancient cities, which are important parts of Aydın's cultural heritage. The beach, which is home to over 800 plants and dozens of animal species, is also wonderful. You can choose the beach of Zeus Cave for swimming. Speaking of Zeus Cave, we would like to give a brief information about this natural wonder. This natural wonder, which is about 500 meters behind before reaching the National Park, has soda water. Although the entrance to the cave is quite rocky and the water is ice cold, entering this clear water during summer months can turn into a great pleasure. However, you should be careful as it can be very difficult to stay on the surface since the water is quite deep and has soda.

Alternatively, you can explore Didim's coves, about 50 kilometers from Dilek Peninsula, and meet nature at and around Bafa Lake. Let us remind those who have time that Kuşadası is approximately 100 kilometers from İzmir and 160 kilometers from Çeşme.

Kurşunlu Monastery, which makes a strong impression with its architecture, is only 20 kilometers from the center. You can enjoy the magnificent view after seeing the 600-meter-high structure.
