There are many beaches in Kusadasi but we prefer the somewhat quieter one next to the Palm Club. Kustur beach is well away from the main Kusadasi port which sees very large cruise traffic hence the seas at Kustur we believe are much more cleaner than in Kusadasi.

Used a couple of the bars in Kustur but we as a group spent most our time using the hotels facilities.

There are many other hotels in Kustur all offering all inclusive however, we prefer the freedom to explore other bars and restaurants without being tied to the hotel.

kusadassi is a clean but busy resort,growing larger each year there is a wide seletion of bars restruants and discos so something for every family member,dont miss the bazzar a shoppers paradise full of genuine fakes. kusadassi has only a small shingle beach but ladies beach and long beach is near by but a little gem of a beach called silver sands beach is only a dolmus ride away,you must visit golden sand and only 50 people on 1500meters of beach paradise,its so good we are back again in 2006

It may not be love at first sight for many people but for me Kusadasi is my favourite place in Turkey. You can use this place as a base for many different excursions to places like Epheusus, House of Virgin Mary or a ferry to the Greek island of Samos.

The resort is often visited by frequent huge cruise ships. The town beach to be honest is rubbish, but just a short bus ride away will take you to many great clean sandy beaches out of town like the famous Ladies Beach, or the quieter Long beach and Diamond beach.

The entertainment is great with dozens of clubs and bars open all night around the Old Town(kaleici)area and Bar Street. Great restaurants are everywhere. The hundreds of shops seem to sell the same usual things like fake designer clothes etc. but a new shopping centre has just opened at the port which include a Starbucks and a Body Shop.

I think with a bit of exploring you can get exactly what you want out of your holiday in Kusadasi, with many things to do in easy reach you don’t get bored. Just get a map!

For good home grub try some of the boozers on “Ladies Beach” or “Harry?s Bar” in Centrum. If you do get to Harry’s say hello to Brian, their Brit ex-Pat in residence, a nice guy and a wealth of local knowledge.

For local entertainment, the Marino Seafront is great and “Bar Street” is a must see.

In closing, Kusadasi is pushy and if Turkey joins the EU the rest of us should leave !

the resort it self was clean enough, but there was no bins anywhere, this was something i noticed afer a couple of days you would be walking around with rubbish in your hand or untill one of the shop owners would take off your hands if you went into there shop. there was enough cafe bars in the centre if you just wanted to stay there and have a few drinks or if you wanted to venture up to bar street were all the bars were and disco’s that was open till 5am, some bars were busier than others but again it depends on what you like and the sort of music. i would be quite happy to visit the resort again
