Aegean Coast

Turkey’s Aegean Coast runs from Kusadasi and Ephesus in the south up to the Greek border in the north. It is a region of olive groves, ancient ruins, fishing villages, and some of the country’s most rewarding beach destinations. Ephesus, one of the best-preserved ancient cities in the world, anchors the south. Selcuk and Sirince offer slower travel inland. Every Aegean Coast guide on Turkey Travel HQ covers what to see, where to base yourself, and how to combine the region with the rest of a longer Turkey trip in 2026.
