Closer to Cappadocia Konya may be worth a visit with some excellent Museums. It's the bastion of Islam so not great for nightlife or wine tasting.
Kusadasi is a bit of a tourist trap but the castle may be worth a visit.
some good advice! Şirince is one of those lovely mountain village easily accessable by dolmus (minibus) from the transport hub of Selçuk (which is 2-3 miles from Ephesus).
Nice wines too!
Alaçatı, close to Çesme is also nice.
