Kusadasi is a great choice for any holidaymaker! Single travelers, large groups and couples with children will have a great time here.
Kusadasi translates as "bird island". Why an island, no one understands, but there are indeed many birds on the coast.
So why do so many holidaymakers come to Kusadasi? Let's find out together.
Weather and climate
Kusadasi is the best tourist city in Turkey. And there are many reasons to say so:
- Even in the middle of summer it is not hot here;
- It is always pleasant to relax on the beach, because a refreshing breeze blows from the sea;
- The air humidity is much lower than in any other resort town in Turkey.
The season in Kusadasi starts in June and ends in September. You can go on holiday here in May. The days in May are hot, but the nights are quite cool. But in the summer you will be able to enjoy warm days and nights to your heart's content. The air temperature during the day in June is +30°C, at night - +23°C and higher.
In June and August the temperature does not rise above +33°C. At night it does not fall below +25°C.
Sometimes, in September you can still enjoy a holiday by the sea and swimming in it. But the weather can play a cruel joke - a sharp cold snap and constant rains. Although the rainy season is considered to be from October, the weather can outplay this in its own way.
In winter, only avid fans of Kusadasi come to rest in Kusadasi. At this time of year, the air temperature is +5-7 °C. At night, it drops to almost 0 °C.
Water temperature
Not all vacationers in Kusadasi prefer to swim in the sea. Some choose only to spend time in the sun, others - the hotel pools. But if you still like to swim in the waves, then we recommend coming here no earlier than mid-June. The sea warms up to +21-24°C. If you want it even warmer, then this is in July-August. The water at this time warms up to +25-27°C.
Beaches
The resort town has as many as 4 beaches, which are famous for their cleanliness and beauty. Namely:
- Ladies' Beach. The beach is about 1 km long. The width is 30 meters. The beach is sandy. Once upon a time, only ladies were allowed on this beach, hence the name. But over time, everything has changed and anyone can come to the beach. Here you can rent sun loungers or umbrellas. You can have a snack at a cafe, bar or restaurant.
- Long Beach. Yes, yes, that's what it's called. It's about 15 km long. Along the beach are hotel areas and public beaches. The beach itself is sandy. On its territory there are: changing cabins, umbrellas, sun loungers, cafes and restaurants.
