enjoy the peace, tranquillity and ancient craftsmanship on view at
it`s splendid mosques. Situated on the west coast of Turkey 90 km
south of Izmir, Kusadasi, is reputed for one of the most attractive
city of the Aegean, as it is close to the important historical sites
including Ephesus, Priene, Didyma, Miletos the principals of ancient
times, and ideal for sightseers. The town takes its name from a
little island to the West of the port. Translated Kusadasi means
"Bird Island". Nowadays this island is connected by a causeway with
the main land so that the castle on it is much easier to visit, thus
it is not really an island anymore. Kusadasi has a typical
Mediterranean climate with hot summers and mild winters, providing a
long tourism season. The city is bathed in sunshine for 300 days of
the year. Numerous powdery sandy beaches with warm clear waters,
providing a peaceful atmosphere, allow for a great variety of water
and beach holidays. Windsurfing, water skiing, sailing and beach
volley are only a few of the choices for those preferring active
holiday life. As the sun sets, the attractive cafes and restaurants
along the palm-lined boulevard get busier. It is a great delight to
watch the comings and goings of the yachts and ships with the
panoramic view of the sunset, from the bar just before your dinner.
The restaurants serve a variety of fresh seafood and fish and the
best of Aegean specialties in Kusadasi.
