One of the most interesting sights of this area is   Pigeon Island ( Guvergin Island), which is a symbol of the city.

In ancient times, the citadel on the island was used as a defense against an attack on the city from the sea, and also served as a refuge for pirates and adventurers. Now the fortress, which is sometimes called the"Pirate Castle", is a visited museum.

The Calais district, located within the city walls, is considered very popular and attractive for tourists. Here you can not only visit the crowded colorful bazaars, but also explore the old streets, as well as the Fortress Mosque (Kaleici Mosque). This significant building was erected in 1618, and has an area of 1800 square meters.

Not far from Kusadasi, about 20 kilometers to the south, is the famous Kurshunlu monastery. There is a point of view that in ancient times it was an Orthodox church. The monastery is located in the mountains at an altitude of 600 meters above sea level, offering magnificent views of the surroundings.
