Built and extended between the 14th and 18th centuries, Kusadasi Castle stands on Pigeon Island, an islet connected to Kusadasi by a causeway. Originally constructed as a military base, the fortress features outer walls that encircle its gardens and an inner castle. Today, visitors can explore the historic site, walk through the gardens, and visit a small museum housed within the inner castle, offering a glimpse into the region’s rich history.
