Kusadasi I dreamed of visiting for a long time, even after reading the book "Chaliakusha" of the Turkish writer Deshad Nuri Güntain. Kusadasi is described there from the best side as a paradise place.
And Kusadasi did not disappoint me. This small town is located in the west of Turkey's coast of the Aegean Sea. There are not very many tourists from Russia. But the Turks themselves and Europeans prefer to relax in Kusadasi because of the soft dry climate. Translated from Turkish Kusadasi means "Bird Island", and the symbol of the city is a pigeon. And this is not just like that because there is a legend that during the enemy attack the city was saved by birds. Not far from Kusadasi was an island, which was a flock of pigeons. So when the enemy fell into the city, this pack flew upwards. And noticing these residents of the city were able to protect their city from the enemy. In the city itself there are several cute bird monuments. And the pigeons themselves in Kusadasi are also a lot, especially on the waterfront. And there are a lot of pigeon houses there.
Tourism in Kusadasi began to develop only about 40 years ago. And now for vacationers at this resort all conditions have been created. Beaches are well equipped, there are many cafes and restaurants. In addition, Kusadasi has a hot mineral source.And very close to Kusadasi there is a Greek island. The city has impressive sizes of the port in which huge cruise liners arrive. They bring tourists to this wonderful place. Almost all Turks in the city speak English quite well, and some know several phrases and in Russian.
Kusadasi can be reached from Izmir. From the airport you need to get to the bus station, and already from there by bus to the destination.
In general, living in the city is cheaper in a removable apartment than in the hotel. True to prepare already have to themselves. Products can be bought in the supermarket, there are many of them. The largest supermarket of Kypov, there is a very large selection of products and from it there is a free bus to the city center. You can still buy products and everything else to buy on the market. And I need to bargain there. And then the sellers will not be correctly understand and can even be offended.
In Kusadas, there is no no industry at all, everything is created only for tourism and all due to this and live.
The most popular beach and the Archprint Leydiz Beach. There you can travel the sun beds for convenience, quite inexpensive. There is a large selection of water entertainment. Such as scooters, parachutes and sea walks. The sea and the beach are very clean, the water is simply transparent and in general nature is very beautiful. By sea, you can also make very interesting excursions to famous antique cities. You can see Ephesus, Didim, Millet and Prien. But this is for lovers of history and for those who want to diversify lying on the beach.
Another popular beach in Kusadas is a female beach. He got its name since that time when on this beach was allowed to swim only to women. And now this is a public beach. It is sandy and equipped with wooden terraces. But the lack of this beach, which is there from early morning a lot of people. So there should be free spaces in advance.
In addition, there are several large water parks in Kusadasi.
Not far from Kusadas is the water amusement park Adandland and Aquaphentazi water park. And Adanga promotes itself as one of the best such parks of the world. As far as it is reasonable, I do not know, I have not yet been able to visit everyone. But there is really very interesting. There are many very high-speed descents that are not every venture to take advantage of, as well as various pools and much more, including the river for rafting. And next to the water park is still the Dolphinarium, tourists with children are like walking there. But adults will be very interesting to see the presentation. And there is a marine park, where every visitor is given a special suit and a diving mask. And there is just a paradise - you can swim and chat with skates and admire the shark and crocodiles. This place is worth visiting it, although the pleasure is not too cheap. A ticket for an adult costs 40 euros. Aquaphisy Water Park Visit is cheaper, only 20 euros and there is also very interesting.
In Kusadasi, there is another attraction to see. This is nothing like the Dick National Park. It has a huge number of the most varied flora and fauna. Animals and plants were brought to Kusadasi from all over the world. Including there are many rare individuals. And next to this Park there is one more attraction. It is called a wig of crying or cave Zeus. There, tourists make desires and tie ribbons. And besides, there are ruins of ancient cities on the territory of the park.And it is amazing when surrounded by such a beautiful nature, you can also touch the story with your hands.
And in the city itself and on the embankment a large selection of Turkish dishes in numerous catering establishments. Almost every café work cooks and waiters in national Turkish costumes and they are all smiling and very polite. True, like many Turks are obsessive and sometimes even replay too much. I watched the scene with a guy climbing in a cafe. I do not know how this position is called. So there were two Germans and despite his invitations, did not go to the cafe. So he ran 50 meters behind them and shouted in English that they broke his heart and it bleeds. Here are temperamental Turks there.
For lovers of shopping in Kusadasi, a lot of beautiful souvenirs, jewelry, brass and copper products are sold. And also in the city there are corporate stores of famous nonsense. For comparison I want to say that clothes in them are much cheaper than in Europe. Well, of course, there are shops of Turkish brands. You can pay there with Turkish limes, but dollars and euros vendors are also happy with pleasure.
In addition, a beach holiday is developed in the city, there is even just nice to admire the nature. Kusadasi is a very live place if you can express it. There are many plants and colors. There is all starting with palm trees and olive trees and ending with very beautiful china. Also in the season there are many fruits.
For me in holiday in Kusadasi, some solid advantages. I really want to return there.
