Popular Places
Izmir is a vibrant port city situated along Turkey’s Aegean coast. Known as Smyrna in ancient times, this settlement is now the third largest city in the country. Learn about Izmir’s extraordinary past at the many museums and landmarks that dot the area. While Kadifekale or Velvet Castle takes you back to Hellenistic times, the Agora Open Air Museum showcases well-preserved remains of a prominent Roman marketplace. There is also Asansor, a historic elevator connecting the upper and lower parts of town, and Konak Square with its iconic clock tower. The city is a hub of activity with art festivals, cultural performances and sports events happening all year round.
When it comes to dining, the lively Alsancak district is known for its trendy cafes, restaurants, and nightclubs. The vineyards and winery at Urla Yards are a popular attraction as well. An hour's drive out of town takes you to the sprawling Greco-Roman ruins of Ephesus that was once a thriving Greek city. The UNESCO-listed Pergamon, with its acropolis and theater, lies north of the Izmir.
