Kusadasi is a beautiful beach town located on Turkey’s western Aegean coast. The amazing ruins, stunning marina, array of bars and restaurants and wide beaches make this the perfect place for a relaxing yet cultural vacation.
There are three transportation options from Izmir airport to Kusadasi: taxi, bus or train. Taking an Izmir airport taxi is the quickest and most comfortable way to get to Kusadasi as it takes just 60 minutes. Taking the Havas bus is the best budget option as a one-way ticket costs just €4 (43 TRY) and the journey time is 1 hour 30 minutes. Your final option is to take the train, but this is the slowest and least convenient option as you will need to make a change to a bus line. The total journey time on the train is 2 hours 25 minutes and the cost is €6 (67 TRY).
Taxis in Turkey are relatively cheap compared to most other countries in the world. So, if you want to drastically cut your transfer time but are on a budget, splitting a taxi between one or two friends will make it extremely affordable.
Although the Havas bus is cheap, if you're not travelling on a budget, you can shave at least 30 minutes off of your journey and hours off your waiting time by taking a taxi.
If you need a budget friendly transfer option, I suggest taking the bus instead of the train as it's much quicker, more convenient and costs less.
