Map & location
Kusadasi, Izmir Area, Turkey
Set on the sweeping Pamucak beach just outside Kusadasi, Korumar Ephesus Beach & Spa Resort gives you the best of both worlds: a relaxed, beachfront base with Aegean views, and easy access to some of Turkey’s most famous sights.
Spend lazy days by the pools or on the sand, then head 12km into Kusadasi for harbour-front restaurants, lively bars and bazaars wrapped in old city walls. The legendary ruins of Ephesus are a short drive away, putting ancient temples, theatres and marble streets firmly on your must-see list, while Pamukkale’s snow-white terraces are also possible on a longer day trip.
- Beachfront direct access to sandy beach
- Kusadasi resort centre 12km
- Ephesus ruins 10–15km (short drive)
- Approx. transfer time from airport 1 hour from Izmir Airport (ADB)
