In ancient times, Kusadasi was called Neapolis and it was supposedly founded by sick soldiers of Agamemnon’s army during the Trojan War. The heyday of Kuşadası began in late Antiquity and the early Middle Ages. Until the fifteenth century, the name of the city was Scala Nova, a commercial center of the Republic of Venice and the Republic of Genoa. In the early fifteenth century, the Ottomans conquered the city and it has been part of the Ottoman Empire and Turkey since then.
Kusadasi is now a popular destination for local and foreign tourists. The city is relatively small -- about seventy thousand people. It has a large marina and a port for cruise ships. The center, located near the harbor, is a car-free pedestrian zone. There are many beaches with fine sand near and around Kusadasi. There are restaurants and pubs which serve delicious and not very expensive food in big portions. The City Beach, a small beach with a view of the cruise ships, is located just in front of the harbor. The Ladies Beach is two kilometers from the city center. The eighteen-kilometer-long sandy beach between Long Beach Kusadasi and Guezelcamli is shallow, and therefore safe even for people who cannot swim very well.
