Kusadasi

Very beautiful and large city. Every Wednesday and Friday you can go to the Grand Bazaar where you can buy goods for low rates. Also you have a small buses that go through the whole city all the time. Every time I wanted to go to the center I just left the hotel and the bus was waiting for me. Incredible. Food is also not very expensive , but you should try to book a hotel with all included or full board. Other things I should mention are that you should carefully choosing a hotel because the is a lot of false advertising. Also Kusadasi offers great excursions like Ephesus, Pammukale (must see), scuba diving, Fantasy water-park ( must go ) and other fun things at cheap rates.

It is a small town destination for many cruise ships because of its proximity to the ruins of Ephesus, 15 km away. A port city, with tourists harassed by street vendors where you have to waste time haggling if you want to buy goods. Another option is to visit the house where the Virgin Mary spent her last years (I think it is the best of all).
