I have only visited Kusadasi in Turkey, but I have to say it really frightened me. Apparently, since 9/11, tourism in Turkey (at least from ships with Americans) has dropped considerably, so the salespeople are literally ravenous for sales. Their way of going about trying to draw us into the stores was overwhelming and not fun. I stayed off my cruise ship for about half an hour, and that was longer than everyone else!
