KUSADASI ATTRACTIONS
Kusadasi’s most famous landmark is the Kervansaravi, (now a hotel) constructed in the early 18th century. This structure was constructed simultaneously with the Kaleici Camii (“Old Town”) and Hamam (Turkish Baths) together with the city walls.
The Kervansaravi hosts Traditional Turkish Nights where Turkish culture can be explored through food and dance, folk dancing, Cossack dancing and obligatory belly dancing are performed.
The Kaleici area is ideal for shopping and late night revelling.
A visit to Turkey is not complete without a visit to a Haman it is an opportunity to revisit Ottoman times, the wonderful soapy massage followed by a manipulation with a loofah provides skin exfoliation in preparation for those many hours of sunbathing and leaves you relaxed and invigorated, fully primed to enjoy all the activities available.
There is a profusion of restaurants with a wealth of choice to satisfy all budgets, appetites and palates. Turkish food is regarded as one of the world’s greatest cuisines due to the abundance of fish, fresh produce, herbs and spices.
Virtually every restaurant serves alcohol and locally produced wine is cheap as is Efes Pilsen (light and dark) regarded as Turkey’s best beer. Tuborg, a Danish company also produce two varieties of beer and imported beers are available however, as with all imported goods these can be expensive by Turkish standards.
The Turkish equivalent to Greek ouzo is Raki, an aniseed-flavoured grape brandy (usually diluted with water). Gin, vodka and brandy are produced in Turkey and thus are much less expensive than their equivalent imported varieties.
Bars, nightclubs, jazz clubs, discos, beach clubs and cafes remain open into the early hours of the morning there are many live music venues catering for all ages, preferences and endurance levels.
Taxis are readily available and taxi ranks are strategically located. The fleet still includes a number of 1960s Chevrolet Impalas. The distance travelled determines the fare payable, the price is displayed on the meter and prices increase after midnight as the Dolmus service ends.
Shopping is a favourite pastime with Locals and Visitors alike, everything that could possibly be made from leather is available, textiles, delicate embroidery, lacework, footwear and souvenirs made from onyx, copper and inlaid wood are in abundance at very reasonable prices on every street corner.
Pottery has become a popular choice with a rapid increase in Turkish and International designers utilising historical designs to reproduce spectacular memorabilia.
Gold and silver jewellery will capture the attention of even the most reluctant Shopper, the variety of stones, settings and designs make it extremely difficult to resist temptation!
Turkey is famous for its carpets. Prices are determined by quality, age, condition and material (wool or silk). Be prepared, the Salesperson will go to great lengths to explain the “story of the carpet”.
All shops are open seven days a week and are generally open from 9am to 12pm. Tax-free shopping is available from authorised Retailers.
On Tuesday and Friday there is a fruit and vegetable market in town where an enormous variety of locally produced fresh produce is available, the experience of browsing among the stalls examining the produce, bantering and bargaining with the Vendors is one that even those Visitors availing of all-inclusive packages offered by some hotels should not miss.
