The weather in February in this part of Turkey can be atrocious. It was raining like the end of the world when I stopped at Kusadasi for one night while on my way from Cesme. The good thing about visiting Kusadasi in the winter month is, there are far less few tourists and the atmosphere is much more congenial than when I last visited the town in the summer of 2007.
Luckily for me, the sun reappeared on the second day, so I have been able to wander around the shoreline and take some photos. Granted, Kusadasi is not my ideal type of Aegean town, but then how many visitors from outside of Turkey know about truly beautiful places such as Ayvalik or Foca?
The shores of the Aegean is a good place to stop, have a few glasses of tea, and admire the beautiful Aegean Sea.
In February, the waves could still be very strong and water temperature fairly low, hence no one dared to show off their swimming skills in the sea.
The boulevard along the shoreline is full of shops, banks, restaurants, apartment blocks and hotels.
This bistro place has very eye-catching figures as its advertisement.
One of the main tourist attractions of Kusadasi is the Guvercin Ada, connected to Kusadasi via a walkway.
