Hey everyone.My friends and I really want to come to kusadasi on the 18th of August.We love the resort,we've been there last year and had the time of our lives

.
The problem is that we can't seem to decide what to do.I'm not worried about new bomb attaks,but i saw some images on tv from kus and the resort seemed almost deserted.

The streets were empty and some locals said they had to close up their business because of the lack of tourists.
Has anyone been there recently or talked to friends who are there now?Are tourists still coming?How about the night life?Is Bar Street still crowded?
Thanks.Take care.

I think that the streets were deserted ONLY directly after the bomb incident.

Kusadasi is still extreamly busy. Hardly anyone has cancelled their holidays there, so there are still alot of tourists and Bar Street is still as banging as it ever was.

You should definately go - Although there is extra security and everyone is much more vigilent, Things have returned to normal there now as the locals and tourists, although not forgetting the terrible thing that happened and the people that were hurt and sadly lost their lives, they wanted life to return to normal as quickly as possible, like before it happened.

Welcome to the forums, by the way. Nice to have you here.

Hi julie,

i have to agree with Carmella, from speaking to friens who work in Kusadasi, business is still good & lots of tourists are about.
the hotels have seen very few cancellations.

Im sure you will have a fantastic time!!
