Kusadasi is famous with its international port and for
being a base to visit the neighborhood historical sites,
the most famous one being Ephesus. There are not many
gay exclusive venues in
Kusadasi, but it is probably one
of the top summer destination in Turkey visited by gay
tourists especially arriving with cruise ships and many
others staying overnight for a couple of days to see the
near-by ancient cities. Besides being very close to many
historical places Kusadasi also provides a colorful
nightlife, all summer activities you can imagine and it
has many beautiful beaches around it. The town is also
visited in winter season by many tourists because the
daily tours to Ephesus, Pamukkale etc are available from
Kusadasi almost everyday round the year.

There is not any explicitly gay beach in and around

beach reported by webiste visitors (see below). besides
that, it is more likely to see gay men in the nearest
public beach called Kadinlar Pilaji (Ladies Beach) and
sometimes in Green beach located right after Ladies
beach, which is more secluded and therefore more
suitable for cruising.

It is a secluded rocky
area far from the residential zone, behind the
hill across the Tusan Hotel on Kustur beach. It is
rather a cruising area than a beach, but you can also

Aydinlik Koyu
(National Park)
The isolated parts of public bay / beach within

a "gay freidnly / nude beach" by a Turkish visitor of our website
in early July 2017. Aydinlar bay is the second public
beach area after you enter the national park, roughly 5
km inside. According to the information we
received after you reach the public beach you should
keep walking to your right towards the isolated rocky
area where nude sun bathing is also said to be possible
after you are a considerable distance away from ordinary
people. You can reach the National Park by various
ways. You can take a minibus leaving at regular hours
from
Kusadasi bus station (opposite the Friday Market),
