There are many places you can visit while in Izmir. You can visit the ancient ruins of Ephesus, travel to Kusadasi to experience the local hamans or climb aboard a local boat trip.

Whatever the place or activity, the concierge in your hotel should be able to help you purchase tickets and coordinate a tour to whichever place you want.

There is plenty of opportunities for newcomers to find others who share their language, nationality, ethnicity, background, and interests in Azmir. People travel to Izmir from all over the world and therefore you should have no problem finding like-minded people.

One should book a ticket when you need it. It’s advisable for one to buy a ticket when many people do, approximately two to four months before you fly because research shows that at this time you are likely to find the lowest price for your tickets. Fares tend to rise especially when you are close to your departure date. It also allows you to know which seats will be available and you can choose the most suitable one. I would advise anyone willing to book a ticket to do so as early as possible.

Yes! Given its prime location, Izmir is home to tastey fish. If you make a trip into the city center in the evening, the day’s catch is barbecued at fishing boats tied up on the waterfront promenade and served between great hunks of fresh bread. Utterly fresh: perfectly simple.
