Güzelçamlı is a sea-side town with own municipality in the district of Kuşadası in Turkey's Aydın Province, and a rising resort for tourists. It is situated at a distance of 25 kilometers following the shoreline south to the internationally famous tourism center of Kuşadası and the town of Güzelçamlı borders on the Dilek Peninsula - Menderes Delta National Park. The town's permament population is around 10,000 but rises at least to around 50,000 and possibly more in the summer with the tourists and owners of secondary houses. Güzelçamlı is becoming increasingly popular in the market for Foreign purchases of real estate in Turkey.
During the Ottoman period, the town used to be called Rumçamlısı (Greek Çamlı) and was entirely populated by Greeks. In the last phase of the Greco-Turkish War (1919-1922) (on 7 September1922 precisely), with the victorious Turkish army approaching, the town population had fled by boats and took refuge in the nearby island of Sisam and the town had remained empty for about two years. In 1924, it has been re-populated by Turks from Leftere near Kavala in the frame of the Exchange of populations between Greece and Turkey. The settlement's name was changed to Güzelçamlı and after having had the status of a mere village for seventy years, Güzelçamlı has been made into a township with a municipality instituted in 1992.
