Advice about Kusadasi

Anyone been there? I am looking for information and yes, I found a lot already. I choose a hotel through Lonely Planet (Liman Hotel - ideas of what it is like?), too much things I want to do and see in this week: Ephesus, Claros, Didyma, Virgin Mary place, Isa Bey Camii, Phygale, Selçuk, karvanserai, Söke, Kaleiçi and more. When I'm there I will see what is possible.

But finding nice restaurants and places to go to in the evening is much more difficult. Any advices of good lokanta?

And I surely want to visit at least one time a hammam (again - I'm addicted to these places). I read a lot about hammams in Kusadasi, mostly they seem to be the touristic ones - mixed and hasty treatments. I want the real. Can someone give me a name of a good hammam overthere?

I stayed in an all-inclusive hotel when there. My hotel had a spa that they swore was better than the hamams around town. There are two rather authentic looking ones on the way into Kusadasi. I can't remember their names...sorry...but I had a very nice time there and they didn't rush me. In fact I was the only person there and was treated like royalty.

You can reach both with a dalmus and are very visible from the road. They are located between Hotel Tusan and Centro of Kusadasi. One has a dome shaped roof while the other looks like a new two story home. The cost in the hotel was outrageous and the prices in the hamams were cheaper than ones in Istanbul. Good luck. Maybe another will remember the exact names.

Thanks Capoeira. I hope that someone else knows names of hammams but also of nice and genuine lokantalar.

Quoting susie k:

Soory Trudy but I was disappointed when I went there. It's like Ibiza when you walk up the main club street at night, it's beautiful in places yes, but we couldn't find any decent food places and when we did it's was very expensive. It's a complete mix of differences really weird actually. Maybe I'm just too old now I think it's a teenagers dream!



That is exactly the reason I won't go there in high season. Well, even if there aren't decent lokanta, I will not starve, do i? lol And maybe I'm too old for places like that too. (You make me curious Susie.... )

I also didn't like this place.

I have nothing against night life and crowded places, but something in Kusadasi made everything look so fake The people were as friendly as in every other turkish place I have visited, but here the concern and the smiles were nothing but honest. I have never before felt so much like a moving wallet in my life.

The servility of the staff everywhere, was outrageous and disgusting. The food was generally bad and the drinks not clean. The only nice place I remember(esthetically speaking), was a beach bar called Cuba in left edge of "kadın" beach.

However, try to visit Milly Park. It's a very beautiful forest area, with wild piglets and other little animals, running around free.
