Quite strange that from Russian tourists you don't often hear this name - Kusadasi. Turkey is more familiar to us with stories about Antalya, Alanya, Kemer and other popular resorts. But the “pigeon” or “bird” island, as the name of this city is translated, is very interesting both in terms of beach holidays and for spending time for educational or excursion purposes. Therefore, our article will be devoted to the description of this popular resort in Turkey, as well as the analysis of reviews of tourists who had to visit here.
Where is it and how to get there
The city of Kusadasi on the map of Turkey is easy to find. It is located near Izmir (biblical Smyrna). From there you need to go about ninety kilometers more to the south. The airport closest to the city is also located here. If you are arriving here by plane, then to get to Kusadasi, you should use the services of two buses. The first one leaves the airport. They can get to the central bus station. Well, from there to the destination there is a wide variety of transport. It is more problematic to travel from Bodrum: firstly, further, and secondly, in our direction, according to the schedule, there are only three buses per day. Therefore, tourists are advised to still choose Izmir as the point from which it is better to get to Kusadasi. From here you can get to Greece - ferries leave the city daily to the island of Samos.
A bit of history
This current resort was once a real outpost of the Byzantine Empire. Was here impregnable castle, which thwarted attacks from the sea. Therefore, on the island that gave the name modern city Kusadasi, Turkey subsequently preserved the fortress walls and even rebuilt them. And between the settlement and the island there is a dam, which can be crossed on foot. And even earlier, about five thousand years ago, as legends say, a mysterious people called "Lelegi" lived here. The ancient Greeks have owned these places since the ninth century BC, and since that time, archaeologists have found many antique artifacts. For a long time, Kusadasi were under the rule of Ephesus and were its additional trade port... The settlement had to be under the rule of the empire of Alexander the Great, and in the Middle Ages - to become a satellite of Venice and Genoa. But after the Turkish conquest in the fifteenth century, the city experienced a real trade boom. On tourists locals have already switched from the seventies to the city of the last century. But they say that it was in ancient times that the wealthy inhabitants of Ephesus began to bask on the local golden sand.
General characteristics of the resort
The most important thing that attracts people here from almost all countries of the world is the amazing pristine nature. The shores cut by picturesque rocks, pine forests, where it is so easy to breathe, mountains that approach the sea itself, clear water of amazing shades of azure and crazy beautiful sunsets- this is evidenced by numerous photos of tourists who came to rest in Kusadasi (Turkey). The weather here is the same as in many good Mediterranean resorts: winters are warm, summers are sunny and hot. But a light breeze from the sea drives away the stuffiness. Therefore, the season often lasts much longer here than in other resorts in Turkey. Although it can be chilly in Kusadasi in autumn. But at this time, not "beachgoers" come here, but fans of surfing and yachting "with a breeze."
