I have visited Istanbul and Kusadasi. There is an amazing amount of history in Istanbul; it is the only city/country to span two continents. The bazaar is full on colorful textiles and souvenirs, but bargain hard with shopkeepers...they'll try to rip you off if you're not careful. There are amazing mosques, churches, etc from ancient times. Be careful of the drivers; I thought the Italians and Egyptians were bad, but the Turkish cabbies win the prize. Kusadasi and the entire coastline are beautiful, bring your camera and a big storage card! Enjoy; I'd love to go back.
