Things to do in Izmir

History slowly continues in the interplay between the Acropolis and the Aegean Sea, the busy city and harbor, the buzzing whistles of cruise ships echoing in the cradle of ancient Greek and European civilization, and the ruins of highly developed city-states in the Aegean Sea...

The town of Silinge is the most European-style town in Turkey. It is a popular check-in spot and many tourists visit it. It is particularly quiet, like a paradise, and the environment is very beautiful. Although it is a quick visit, it is worth visiting!

Stop by the Aegean Sea and experience the grandeur of ancient Rome at the 3,000-year-old city of Ephesus - Temple of Artemis. From the only remaining towering columns, imagine the magnificence of the Temple of Artemis, one of the Seven Wonders of the World!

Kemeraltı Market in Izmir is a bustling historic bazaar filled with vibrant shops, local eateries, and hidden courtyards. From spices and textiles to handmade crafts, it’s a paradise for shoppers and culture lovers. A must-visit for an authentic Turkish market experience! 🏺🛍️✨

The core landmark in the city of Izmir is located on the waterfront. Below it is a square with many pigeons. The clock tower is beautifully carved and surrounded by small pools as a backdrop. People are not allowed to go up.

If you are tired of the bustling city of Istanbul, Cesme is a good choice. Ilica Beach here is a highlight of Cesme. The blue sea sets off the city's leisure area, which is worth a visit.

The square is the very center of the city. The Watchtower is located here. Muslims come by ferry and reach prayer times at the small mosque behind the Saat Kulesi.

Don't just know Istanbul anymore, these two places in Turkey are worth your collection! Speaking of Turkey 🇹🇷, in addition to the famous Istanbul, Cesme and Alacati are the most haunting to me! These two niche places belong to Izmir, Turkey! It takes about an hour to fly from Istanbul to Izmir. This place is not sought after by ordinary travelers, so you can feel the true face of this city most naturally. This is the small place on the southern coast of the Aegean Sea that I love and miss so much! Can you imagine that 2 hours ago, you were still shivering while drinking coffee in Istanbul with cold wind and drizzle, and after a 2-hour flight✈️, you can come to this warm spring in a blink of an eye, and the sea breeze is the most gentle and warm! It is highly recommended to rent a car and drive here. Everyone in Turkey drives very strictly and there is no problem as long as you drive slowly. Cesme is a very beautiful seaside town. The town is most famous for its Islamic and Byzantine-style buildings and the Genoese castle on the seaside. Alacati is about an hour's drive from Cesme. The most famous places here are vineyards and windmills. The town is also worth a visit. You can only walk inside and cars are not allowed in the core area. Izmir, as the third largest city in Turkey, has become a transit point to these two attractions. If you drive yourself, you can also go to Ephesus to experience the scenery of the Greek city.

I visited early in the morning and the atmosphere was solemn.
