A final note on Kusadasi
Blog: The Adventures of D - 26 August 2010
A few days after departing Kusadasi, I thought everything was behind me. It pretty much was … until I was reunited with Claire in Olympos.

Seaside town of Kusadasi and the ruins in Selçuk and Ephesus
Blog: nateniale { reflections on my travels and everything else I love } - 29 December 2009
Our 5th day started with a beautiful view from our hotel in Kusadasi. We arrived pretty late the night before, and so we could not really enjoy the view. We went out for a short walk in the morning to soak in the scenery. Kusadasi is a town by the Aegean Sea. It is a beautiful seaside town that is mainly catered for tourists. And so, like all seaside tourist town, it doesn’t have much of a culture.
