About Kusadasi

Kuşadası is een drukke badplaats aan de Egeïsche kust van Turkije, vlak bij Efeze, een van de best bewaarde oude steden van het Middellandse Zeegebied.

De stad buigt rond een baai met een drukke cruisehaven, een jachthaven en Duiveneiland, dat met een dam met de kust is verbonden en wordt bekroond door een klein stenen fort. De straten van de oude stad klimmen achter de haven omhoog met bazaars, cafés en restaurants, en stranden als Ladies Beach en Long Beach strekken zich langs de kust uit.
