The Kusadasi Castle is a former Byzantine fortress with watchtowers, built to protect the city. It is located on the famous Pigeon Island across the bay of Kusadasi. The castle comprises a beautiful garden, a museum, several beaches, and a cafe serving Turkish delicacies. The museum exhibits models of historical ships and an enormous 47.5-foot-tall skeleton of a finback whale.
The walls of the castle engulf the entire island. A causeway lined with ships connects the island to the mainland of the city. It was also known as the Pirate castle, as it was built to protect the city from attacks. Visitors can take a 15-minute scenic walk or ride a minibus to reach the castle. Enjoy a bird’s eye view of the city coastline from the castle or a picturesque night view of the illuminated castle from the shore.
