Favorite thing: Hi Helen,

lots to do in Kusadasi and beyond.
Wednesday is clothes market day were you can practice your haggling
Tuesday and Friday are the farmer's food markets.
The Dolmus will take you anywhere. You can hop on the Kusadasi to Soke one if you fancy great deals in gold as Soke is full of gold & silver shops frequented by the locals [sometimes the ones in Kusadasi are geared for the'rich' cruise boat customers.
You can catch the daily ferry to the Greek island of Samos and collect a full duty free allowance as you enter and leave the EU.
Also you can shop in the Turkish Duty Free shop after you collect your bags on arrival at the airport.
Ephesus is a most as well as Mary's house and a visit to Sircence - a greek village in the mountains outside Selcuk for some home made fruit wine is nice.
Saturday market in Selcuk [regular Kusadasi to Selcuk Dolmus about 3 lira] is by far one of the better ones and well worth a visit - you can virtually buy anything.
Pamukale is also well worth a visit but you should consider over nighting if you visit - hotels are very good and very cheap if booked on the net.
Tescos have opened a new hypermarket in town - its known in Turkey as Kipa and free Kip[a buses run from the town centre regular. Believe it or not its worth visiting a place like Tesco or B&Q {KosTacs} to check out the diffrences from UK to Turkey.
Adaland is the biggest water park and well worth a day with Dolphins, white water rafting and a new shark pool.
You can even go as far as getting the train from Selcuk or an inter city bus from Kusadasi to Izmir to city shop/watch.
A day trip on a Gulet - with free soft drinks, entertainment, BBQ and swims in secluded bays leave at 10:00 returning at 16:00 for about 15 Euro and don't forget the Turkish bath - do this early in your holiday to maximise your tan [about 15 Euros or less]
There are brilliant Turkish restaurants in town with brilliant food and prices. Avlu, Lezzi Evit, Istanbul all spring to mind although I,m sure you will find your own. Most will give you free lifts back to your hotel.
Beware - the Dolmus mostly finish at Mid-night and from that point taxi fares double.
Enjoy

Favorite thing: Hotel: Prince Ada is 52nd out of 111 hotels in Kusadasi at TA, you can read several reviews there. (http://www.tripadvisor.com/Hotel_Review-g297972-d315059-Reviews-Prince_Ada_Hotel-Kusadasi_Turkish_Aegean_Coast.html)

Weather: July and August is the hottest month, though, the sun shines in Kusadasi from April til October, so if ur goin' in September, it would be moderate temperature averaging 23 deg.C. Though the weather could always be unpredictable.

Favorite thing: Hi everyone. I have been in Kusadasi 2 weeks ago. It was the first time for me and I am impressed. We stay at "charisma hotel", very nice hotel with a great view. The reason for my visit in Kusadasi was a dental treatment. I had a perfect treatment (front teeth veneers and whitenig) and save a lot in compare to my dentist here. The clinic was very modern and clean. I would recommend everyone to let have dental treatment done with "cosmetic-dental-holidays" in kusadasi.

Fondest memory: I really miss the sunset. it was perfect and romantik. I want to visit Kusadasi again in august.

Situated on the west coast of Turkey- 90km south of Izmir, Kusadasi, is reputed for one of the most attractive city of the Aegean, as it is close to the important historical sites including Ephesus, Didyma, Priene, Miletos-the principals of ancient times, and ideal for sightseers. Kusadasi has a typical Mediterranean climate with hot summers and mild winters, providing a long tourism season.The city is bathed in sunshine for 300 days of the year. Numerous powdery sandy beaches with warm&clear waters, providing a peaceful atmosphere, allow a great variety of water and beach facilities.

Fondest memory: As the sun sets, the attractive cafes and restaurants through the palm-lined boulevard, get busier. It is a great delight to watch the comings and goings of the yachts and ships with accompanience of the panoramic view of the sunset.
