Kusadasi
means "Bird Island" and the town takes its
name from the little island (whose name in Turkish means
"Pigeon" or "Dove Island") that is
in the harbour and is now connected by a causeway to the
shore.
Accommodations are what Kusadasi really stars in and
there are numerous hotels, motels, and holiday villages
located in and around the town that cater to every taste
and pocket. Thanks to the marina and good harbour,
Kusadasi is a favourite calling place for yachts and tour
vessels with the result that there are many good
shopping opportunities to be found.
