My wife and I have a trip planned to Turkey and we need help with the last leg. We will be in Kusadasi with 3-4 nights left before we return to Istanbul. We will have already gone to Ephesus, Any suggestions on where to go for these days? We especially enjoy thermal waters so if that's an option it would be a bonus.
Thanks,

There are thermal waters and a spa hotel just about 30 miles South of Kusadasi at a place called Davutlar near the North entrance to Dilek National Park. There are also good hiking and biking routes in Dilek park but some are for the younger generation.
If you do not mind driving, and like other archeological, architectural and historic sites, you can visit Sardis, Bozdag, Golcuk and Birgi, staying the night at Cinaralti Pansiyon at Birgi, continueing to Bafa and Kapikiri/Herakleia for a second overnight.
Or, you can drive up to Kutahya after Sardis, staying at Gural Ilica (Harlek) thermal hotel, visiting Aizanoi, spending also possibly a night at Iznik/Nicea before driving to a ferry at Yalova for Istanbul.
By the way, Bursa and Yalova also have excellent thermal baths and spa hotels.
Thank you so much otherchelebei. Most helpful. Those thermal hotels are particularly intriguing.

We've decided to stay 2 nights in late May at the Natur-Med hotel spa in Davutlar. Will post on how we like it when we return.
