Kuşadasi is a beautiful, popular city located in Turkey. Boasting a relaxed vibe, alluring…read moreturquoise beaches, historical sites, and a major cruise port.
The city is very walkable. Full of lovely shops, restaurants and plenty of areas for photo opportunities.
There are several museums within walking distance. The Grand Bazaar is also located in Kuşadasi. It is one of Turkey's largest markets, offering a wide range of goods from souvenirs to leather and carpets.
The restaurants line up the streets and there are several excellent choices.
Ice cream is big here and for some reason it doesn't melt as fast as in the US. The ice cream is kept in huge metal tins and comes out absolutely creamy and delicous! We loved having ours.
One of the best treats ever are the Turkish Delights!!
I bought a nice big box of fresh made Turkish Delights to bring back home to the US. They were hand sliced in front of us and vacuum sealed for travel. We also bought some and ate them there. These instantly became a new favorite!
Pigeon Island is beautiful as well. It's a small island connected to the mainland by a causeway, featuring an ancient fort with lovely gardens and a museum. I enjoyed walking around taking pictures and learning about the rich history and culture in Turkey.
Kuşadasi is worth a trip. The combination of it's kind, warm people, beautiful traditions, and natural beauty make you fall in love with it.
I truly enjoyed my time in Türkiye! Kuşadasi is a dream. Definitely will return. So glad I was able to visit.
