Acute Pharyngitis in Kusadasi: What to Know Locally
Kusadasi is a busy resort town and cruise port with trips to Ephesus, so long days of sun and walking are typical. Crowded buses, boats and indoor attractions spread colds. Carry lozenges and wash your hands before eating.
Travel Guide to Kusadasi
Kusadasi was known as Ephesus Neopolis in Byzantine times and as Scala Nova under Genoese and Venetian traders, and its present name, meaning Bird Island, came at the start of the 20th century. Trip for travellers: visit Pigeon Island and the old caravanserai, and use the town as the port for Ephesus day trips. The bazaar sells leather, jewellery and textiles, and Ladies Beach is popular for swimming and water sports.

What Can Cause Acute Pharyngitis
Most cases are caused by cold and flu viruses that spread through droplets and shared cups. Dry air-conditioned rooms, cigarette smoke and shouting in noisy bars make it worse.
