Kusadasi
Kusadasi (1995 pop. 50,000) is a town on the Ionian coast of Turkey, near the ancient city of Ephesus. 90 km south of Izmir and a short distance across from the island of Samos, it is well-known as a tourist destination, both for its many beaches, and as the port for cruise ship passengers going to Ephesus.
Kusadasi was a minor port overshadowed by Ephesus until Ephesus' harbor silted up. It was known as New Ephesus, Nuova Scala, and Kush-Adasi at the beginning of the 20th century.
