Izmir, the third most populated city in Turkey is a rockin' coastal town with enough history to keep you entertained for hours and miles of beautiful seafront. Visit the nearby ancient ruins of Ephesus, take a stroll on the beautiful Kordon promenade or browse through bustling Kemeralti Bazaar. Izmir has something for everyone with its mix of ancient attractions and modern art museums. Thanks to its fantastic location on the coast of Turkey with a Mediterranean climate, incredible beaches and hopping dining scene you can come pretty close – at least when it comes to history & culture -to having that ideal mix/history/culture we all trip over ourselves in our quest for.
