Kuşadası ( Turkish for ' bird island '), formerly Ἔφεσος Νεόπολις (Aphrodisias) , Scala Nova and Scala Nuova , is a town in the district of the same name in the Turkish province of Aydın and at the same time a district of the Büyükşehir belediyesi Aydın metropolitan area, created in 2012 . It is located about 100 km south of Izmir on the Aegean coast .
Since a regional reform in 2014, the district has been identical to the district town in terms of area and population; all former villages and communities in the district have become mahalla (districts) of the city.
history
The story goes back to the 3rd millennium BC. BC back.
In ancient times , the city of Neapolis was located here, which was ruled by Ephesus . In the immediate vicinity of Neapolis were the places Marathesion and Phygale, which was supposedly founded by sick soldiers of Agamemnon during the Trojan War .
The heyday of the place began with the decline of Ephesus in late antiquity and the early Middle Ages due to the increasing siltation of the port there. Until the 15th century, the city was a commercial center of the Republic of Venice and the Republic of Genoa under the name Scala Nova . In 1413 the Ottomans under Sultan Mehmed I conquered the city, which from then on belonged to the Ottoman Empire .
The cave of Zeus (Turkish: Zeus Mağarası ) is a water-filled cave near Kuşadası.
