What to see in Izmir.

Izmir is the main city of the Aegean coast of Turkey. This is a large industrial center, and a large resort, and an architectural museum in the open. The first settlements on this site arose six and a half thousand years BC.

In ancient Greece, Izmir was one of the cities of this civilization and was called Smyrna. Since then, several attractions have remained.

One of them is the ancient Greek agora, located in the Namazga quarter. It is pretty well preserved and is available for inspection today. The main square of Konak is also interesting for sightseeing. It is located on the seashore. It is decorated with the main symbol of Izmir - the clock tower. There are also a mosque and municipal buildings.

In the Jewish quarter, you can see the restored old houses and use the Asancer to climb to the top of the hill located here. Asancer is an elevator tower, built in 1901, lifting anyone to a height of 51 meters.

At the top there is an observation platform with the best view of Izmir. Also, when in the city, it will be interesting to visit the archaeological museum (in Konak), the sea promenade and the old Turkish bazaar.

For lovers of ancient defensive structures in Izmir has its own fortress. It is located on the hill of Pagos and is called Cadificale. As for beach holidays, the city has several equipped swimming areas.

All of them are municipal and accordingly free. But the presence of a millionth city near by, makes its mark on this type of vacation in this place. Therefore, the bulk of tourists who come here specifically to sunbathe prefer the resorts closest to Izmir - Kusadasi and Cesme.
