Does anyone know what its like in kusadasi? Thinking about going next summer! Is there many eating places, shops and bars?
Is there much to do for the children? And what are the people and food like??

Eating places? Yes.
Shops? Plenty!
Bars? No.

Children's activities? Not really. The castle on the island will catch their eye, but they'll soon get bored watching the obligatory carpet making demonstration.

many bars in a place the tourists call bar street
