What to know about acne in Kusadasi
Kusadasi is a busy resort town and cruise port with trips to Ephesus, so long days of sun and walking are typical. Long walking days, heat and crowds can slow recovery, so build in rest and shade and tell the doctor how your days are going.
Travel guide to Kusadasi
Kusadasi was known as Ephesus Neopolis in Byzantine times and as Scala Nova under Genoese and Venetian traders, and its present name, meaning Bird Island, came at the start of the 20th century. Trip for travellers: visit Pigeon Island and the old caravanserai, and use the town as the port for Ephesus day trips. The bazaar sells leather, jewellery and textiles, and Ladies Beach is popular for swimming and water sports.
