History

It is not very well known when and by whom the city was founded, but was most probably by the Lonians who called it "Neopolis". Ruins of this early settlement can be seen at the "Yilanci Burnu" (under water). Neopolis was bound to Ephesus and functioned as a holiday resort for the Ephesians. Neopolis has been governed by the Lydians and Persians before the Romans occupied it. During the Byzantine period, Kusadasi became a harbour town mostly used by the Venitians and Genoese who called it "Scalanova" (New Harbor).

When Kusadasi became a part of the Ottoman Empire, Turkish monuments started to be built such as the city walls and the Kervansaray (can still be seen today). It then became an important military protection basis against pirate attacks. In 1865 Kusadasi was declared an independent district. Jews, Greeks, Armenians and Italians settled around the harbor and remained there till W.W.I.
