About Kusadasi

Kuşadası, station égéenne animée de la côte ouest turque, est proche d'Éphèse, l'une des cités antiques les mieux préservées de la Méditerranée.

La ville s'incurve autour d'une baie avec un port de croisière animé, une marina et l'île aux Pigeons, reliée à la rive par une chaussée et surmontée d'une petite forteresse de pierre. Les rues de la vieille ville grimpent derrière le port avec bazars, cafés et restaurants, et des plages comme Ladies Beach et Long Beach s'étirent le long de la côte.
