Kuşadası (Turkey) - Shopping on the Dock

Our bus returned to the ship after an adventurous afternoon exploring the area around Kusadasi.  I found my "local Starbucks".



There were a few cafes on the pier.  This is looking back towards the main part of Kusadasi.
We saw this little shop and went crazy buying Turkish products.  We bought several boxes of Turkish Delight in fruity flavors.
This was a smart idea.  The passengers were dropped off and could walk through this little shopping area for some "one more thing" shopping before boarding.  Can you see the Starbucks sign at the end of the walkway?
A lot of the items that we had seen during our tours were available.
A very pretty backgammon board, plus those lamps that I liked so much.
Very pretty and colorful.
There was quite a variety of items to buy, but we were able to walk past these.
Only to get caught in another Food store. I bought one of the baskets with apricots, nuts and other fruits. Everything tasted very good.  I have since found dried Turkish apricots in Costco and I'm a big fan.  You can also seasonally buy the dried figs.
Interesting sign that was in the terminal building as we made our way to the ship.
A little map to show where we were. We will now head across the sea to tour Athens.
