Kusadasi, Turkey

Kusadasi, Turkey.  Our home for the last 4 days and we are leaving reluctantly.  A beautiful seaside port town.  An overdue hair cut, a Turkish bath, swimming, walking, sunshine and wonderful Ephesus. This part of our trip we will never forget.

The town's name, meaning 'Bird Island' is taken from the island was a much-frequented resting place of birds during seasonal migrations.  Kusadasi has become a popular holiday resort and its normal population of 50000 swells into the hundreds of thousands in the summer due to the numerous tourists disembarking here from the many daily cruise ships calling port here. The city's popularity is due to its excellent shopping opportunities and to its close proximity to the famous ancient Greco-Roman sights of Ephesus, Priene, Didyma and Miletus.
