Izmir is where you'll find one of the holiest place in the world. Izmir houses the last home of the Blessed Virgin Mary.

Modern, big and beatiful city with a lot of bars and disco in Alsancak, attractions in Konak, parks and mountain in Balcova

I have benn only once... So i dont think that i can say anythink.....Sorry!!!!

The strange building that hold the museum built in 1831 as the St. Rock Hospital and had patients that suffered from black death! It is situated right next to the Archaeological Museum but I like it more because it shows many things about the local daily life. You can see many samples of traditional Turkish folkloric artifacts, a collection of Bergama and Gordes carpets, traditional costumes etc I visited the museum with Emek, my local friend in Izmir so we had some nice conversions about some common local customs the two counties share through the years. The museum is open every day except Monday between 08:30-12:00 and 13:00-17:00) and the cost is only 2YTL (1.2euro!).

Izmir has wonderful markets where they sell foods, clothes and artifacts. Barter with vendors, items are usually a third cheaper if you haggle.

Ma 1ere saison avec FRAM: la Turquie. J ai aime l ambiance de cette ville, flaner dans ses souks et manger un bout dans son vieux marches

Tolle Stadt, immer eine Reise wert! Kann ich nur empfehlen.

Izmir isn't worth too much of your time other than the bazaar. Drive an hour or two and the beautiful Aegean you dream of is there.
