About the Selcuk to Kusadasi Transfer
The distance between Selcuk and Kusadasi is approximately 20 km, and this route is one of the most frequently travelled connections on the Turkish Aegean coast.

Two-way bookings are just as easy, and many providers offer a small discount for round trips.
About Kusadasi
Kusadasi is one of Turkey's most visited resort towns, sitting on a natural bay on the Aegean coast south of Izmir. The name means "bird island" in Turkish, a reference to the small islet connected to the mainland by a causeway, topped by the Pigeon Island Castle (Güvercin Adası). In summer the town's port receives some of Europe's largest cruise ships, turning Kusadasi into a lively international meeting point with busy bazaars, waterfront restaurants and a buzzing marina.
The beaches around Kusadasi are among the finest on the Aegean. Ladies Beach (Kadınlar Denizi), just a short drive from the centre, is the most popular, while the longer sands at Güzelçamlı and the crystal-clear coves inside the Dilek Peninsula – Büyük Menderes Delta National Park draw travellers who want a quieter escape. The national park also offers scenic hiking trails and outstanding wildlife spotting. Back in town, the old bazaar quarter around Kaleici is a rewarding maze of stone lanes, leather shops, jewellers, and rooftop cafes.
Kusadasi's proximity to Selcuk makes it an ideal base for exploring the region. You can visit Ephesus first thing in the morning before the heat and the crowds build, have lunch by the marina, and spend the afternoon on the beach — all within a 25-minute taxi ride of each other. The combination of archaeological grandeur and seaside relaxation is hard to beat anywhere on the Turkish coast.
