Step into History at Pigeon Island and Byzantine Castle
Your local guide will greet you at the port and kickstart your Kusadasi walking tour. We’ll begin with a picturesque 10-minute walk along the waterfront, leading us to the enchanting Pigeon Island.
This island is nestled near the shores of Kusadasi and connected to the mainland by a mole. Prepare to be amazed as you explore the Byzantine Castle perched on the rugged rocks, offering breathtaking panoramic views. The castle, also known as the “Pirates Castle” due to its strategic location, served as a vital defense point during the Ottoman Empire era.
Stroll through Kaleici, the Charming Inner Castle (old-town)
Continuing our tour, we’ll head towards the city center to Kaleici, meaning “inner castle” in Turkish. As you wander through the bustling streets, you’ll soak in the vibrant atmosphere and experience the lively energy of local merchants. Take your time to explore and enjoy the authentic charm of this historic neighborhood.
Discover Art and History at Ibramaki Art Gallery
During your Kusadasi walking tour, we’ll also visit the remarkable Ibramaki Art Gallery. Originally built as a Hometown Hospital in the late 19th century by Kusadasi gentry Ibrahim Zeki, this building holds a significant place in history. It was donated to the Municipality of Kusadasi in 1925 and later served as a Night Art School for Girls. Today, the art gallery stands as a testament to Ottoman Era Kusadasi Architecture, showcasing its unique beauty and artistic heritage.
Unwind and Rejuvenate with a Traditional Turkish Bath
After exploring the art gallery, we’ll continue our Kusadasi walking tour through the city gate, passing by the City Arch on our way to a truly relaxing experience—a traditional Turkish bath.
Indulge in the perfect way to unwind and revitalize your senses. Whether you bring your bathing suit or use the provided pashmina clothing, you’ll enjoy a rejuvenating scrubbing massage to open your pores, followed by a soothing foam massage to relax and nourish your body.
Delight in Local Cuisine and Handicrafts
To replenish your energy, we’ll treat you to a delectable lunch featuring delicious dishes from the Aegean Region. During the meal, water, tea or coffee are included, while soft drinks and alcoholic beverages are available for an additional cost.
After lunch, we’ll visit the downtown mosque and the watch tower, immersing ourselves in the town’s architectural beauty. Before concluding our walking tour of Kusadasi in downtown, you’ll have the opportunity to explore local handicrafts and enjoy a brief carpet presentation during a refreshing break.
