This is a small shopping place in Kusadasi, located on Davutlar road (closer location name is “Nazilli Sitesi”). Between Kusadasi and Davutlar you can see a lot of summer settlement, very long (20 km) beach, hotels, motels, tens of thousands summer villas. These types of shops are very usual for tourists and other residents who staying generally at summer time around this area because every one can easily find some of their needs from here.

They closed over the hall just thin reeds because the reason of sun. Half of shadow, half of lights and circulation for fresh air then visitors can shop more comfortable.

Kusadasi : Kusadasi is a town on the Aegean coast of Turkey, near the ancient city of Ephesus, 90 km south of Izmir and a short distance across from the island of Samos.

Kusadasi - Ladies Beach

It is extremely popular as a tourist destination, both for its many beaches, and as the port for cruise ship passengers heading to Ephesus. Kusadasi has a residential population of 50,000 which rises to over half a million during the summer due to local and foreign tourists.

Kusadasi was a minor port overshadowed by Ephesus until Ephesus' harbor silted up. It was known as New Ephesus, Scala Nuova, and Kush-Adasi at the beginning of the 20th century.

The name comes from 'kus' (bird) and 'ada' (island). Just next to the old harbor is a small island that has a rock with the shape of a bird's head (as seen from the sea).

Near to Kusadasi, there is a national park full of beautiful beaches just 1 km ahead of the town of Guzelcamli. Also, several aqua-parks are located near the town: the largest are Aqua Fantasy and Aqua Land.

Wow! What an incredible photo. The subject matter and lighting is unique, and you did an excellent job of capturing the shadows with detail and sharpness. The hanging clothes above add to the depth and layering of the composition. Beautiful! -Lara

Merhaba Ertugrul,
this shot experiences with masters with the light and the shades that create the awnings in the street.
You have obtained amazing results, as much in the illumination, like in the colors, and specially with the linear effect of the shades in the ground and people.
A very creative photo, fantastic.

Josep

Merhaba Ertugrul,
Greetings with the Kurban bairam!

Your photo is a most unusual documentary capture of everyday life. Colors are vibrant, sharpness is perfect and light and shadows play is eye-catching. I've been in Kusadai two years ago and I remember these streets near the port.
Friendly regards,
Anton
