NIGHT LIFE
Night life in Kusadasi which continues until the first light of the day varies in style in different parts of town. Barstreet in down town is a narrow street on which mostly British and Irish pubs are located next to each other. International music is played in this bar region.

Kaleici (old town) area is another part of town where lots of different style bars and clubs are located. The old town houses with their gardens in the back are converted into clubs and bars. Most bars in this area perform live Turkish music. However, one can choose between live Turkish music, international, rock, pop or jazz in this area.

If you are looking for a different experience you can go to a bar or club out of down town by taxi. These bars are usually by the water and are prefered by those who like to be in an airy atmosphere on a hot summer night and listen to mostly latin music. DJ’s in Kusadasi are quiet succesful in making people hop.
