Kusadasi,
which means "bird island", is set in a superb gulf
in the Aegean region of Turkey and is known for its turquoise
sparkling water, broad sandy beaches, bright sun and large marina
with a capacity for 600 boats. The town is not far from Adnan
Menderes Airport, Izmir (only 80 km). Numerous holiday villages
and hotels line its shores and hundreds of restaurants serve
food from all around the world and, of course, Turkish Cuisine,
which is one of the largest cuisines of the world. |
Kusadasi has retained a certain earthiness to it
and inexpensive meals and pensions can still be found in town. Many
shops do a brisk trade with passengers from hundreds of cruise ships
that dock for a day or two, allowing enough time for a trip to Ephesus
and a shopping expedition.
The tiny Güvercin Adasi (Pigeon Island) is
connected to the mainland with a causeway. Its romantic setting
includes a well-maintained flower garden which surrounds the restored
14th or 15th century fortress housing a restaurant and disco.
Beaches close to town tend to get quite crowded
during summer. If you prefer more serenity, head for Dilek Peninsula
National Park, known locally as Milli Park about 28km (17 miles)
from Kusadasi.
It is also possible to get to the Greek island
of Samos by regular daily ferries.
