What it's like
Scala Nuova Village is a mini modern shopping mall inside the port of Kuşadası. It gives visitors a sheltered place to shop without leaving the port area.
A visit is simple. Browse the shops for Turkish carpets, ceramics, leather and jewelry, and pick up boxed Turkish delight. The village also has food and drink options, including midye dolma, stuffed mussels with lemon, at a fish restaurant.
Good to know
- Bargaining is customary in Kuşadası, and the rug sellers by the harbor can be pushy.
- Shopping here is usually done on your own, since the village sits inside the port area and needs no transfer.
- Turkish delight is a traditional gift in Kuşadası, and boxed lokum and baklava are suggested as souvenirs.
