The district is located in the south of the province and borders on Seferihisar in the west, Karabağlar , Gaziemir and Buca in the north, Torbalı in the east and Selçuk in the southwest . The southern border forms the Bay of Kuşadası (Kuşadası Körfezi) . In the center of the district, south of the city, is the Tahtalı Barajı reservoir . Its outflow, the Tahtalı Deresi , flows into the sea at Gümüldür. Izmir Airport (Adnan Menderes Havalimanı) is located in the city . There are several seaside resorts on the coast in the south.

The place was previously called Cumaovası and was renamed in 1987 after the former Prime Minister Adnan Menderes .
