Fly to İzmir, just over an hour away, or arrive by cruise ship: Kuşadası is one of the busiest cruise ports in Turkey.
İzmir Adnan Menderes (ADB) is 75 kilometres from Kuşadası, about an hour by road, and 55 kilometres from Selçuk. Milas–Bodrum is two and a half hours away.
Turkish Airlines, Pegasus and SunExpress connect İzmir with the UK, with easyJet and Jet2 flying direct from London and Manchester in summer. Flights take around four hours; outside summer, fly via Istanbul.
Havaş shuttles run from the airport to Kuşadası. Trains run from the airport to Selçuk, which is a good base for Ephesus. Taxis take an hour; package transfers are usually included.
Coaches link Kuşadası with İzmir, Bodrum, Pamukkale and Istanbul. Ferries cross to the Greek island of Samos in summer.
Check entry rules for UK and Irish passports, read getting around Turkey and compare car hire in Kuşadası & Ephesus. Then pick where to stay.
