Kusadasi
Kusadasi is one of the most swollen holiday resort towns on the
southern Aegean Coast, overflowing with shiploads of tourists in
summer who enlarge the year-round population several times over.
Once a small fishing village, today the busy town is packed with
curios and carpet shops; its proximity to the ruins of Ephesus
making it an ideal base for Aegean cruise ships. Despite the
frenzied influx of holidaymakers, Kusadasi is situated amid
splendid coastal scenery and several significant archaeological
sites, including the three well-preserved Ionian settlements of
Miletus, Priene and Didyma. There are plenty of good hotels and
restaurants, and ferries link it with the nearby Greek islands of
Samos and Mykonos.
Information & Facts
Language
Turkish is the official language, but English is widely
understood in the main tourist areas.
Money
The official currency is the New Turkish Lira (TRY), which was
introduced on 1 January 2005, whereby six zeros were dropped from
the TL and the sub-unit New Kurush was created. Currency can be
exchanged at banks, exchange booths, post offices, airports and
ferry ports; banks have the worst rates and highest commissions,
but will exchange lesser known foreign currencies. Banks open
mainly Monday to Friday, but some are open daily in tourist areas.
ATMs are widely available in major cities and tourist areas, but
Turkish ATM keypads usually do not have letters of the alphabet on
their keys. Most bank branches have ATMs which accept Cirrus and
Plus. Major credit cards are widely accepted; the most popular are
Visa or MasterCard, but American Express is accepted in many of the
more expensive places. Travellers cheques can be exchanged at some
banks and currency exchange offices, but are not as welcome as cash
or credit cards. US dollars or Euros are preferred. Some pensions
and hotels in the most popular destinations accept US dollars as
payment.
