Ancient Neopolis stands as the second peninsula, little further to the Pigeon Island.
The site was controlled by the Ionians and was functioning for controlling the trade
between the cities. Neopolis was also reputed for the first inhabited area of Kusadasi.
By the long years, earthquakes have disturbed the land causing the ancient site to sink
under the clear waters of Kusadasi, creating a sunken city. Today, only a few remain
can be noticed in the area. Ceramic pieces, wall remnants, clay and glassware
pots dating back to the Roman and Byzantine periods have been revealed from
Neopolis and are displayed in the Ephesus Museum.
