Izmir. The pillar of the modern Turkey.

Izmir. The pillar of the modern Turkey.

Izmir – one of the most modern city in Turkey.

Situated on Turkey’s scenic western coast, Izmir, once known as Smyrna, stands out as a bustling city brimming with history and charm. It’s one of Turkey’s big three cities and plays second fiddle only to Istanbul when it comes to port importance.

Dating back a whopping four thousand years, Izmir has seen it all – from thriving trade hub to battles and natural disasters. But amidst its tumultuous past, it’s also famous for its stunning beaches and lively atmosphere.

Take a stroll through Kemeral, the old town, and you’ll find narrow streets packed with cafes, shops, and eateries. The Namazgah area hosts the city’s main archaeological site, including a rectangular agora and a Byzantine-era basilica nearby.

In Izmir, history isn’t just confined to ancient ruins. You can spot remnants of an old aqueduct and explore nearby attractions like the Ancient City of Ephesus and the Ancient Greek Theater.

And it’s not just history that Izmir boasts of – it’s a hub of art and culture too, with galleries, museums, and exhibitions galore. And let’s not forget the food – Izmir’s local fish and traditional Turkish cuisine are a must-try for any visitor.

If you’re planning a trip from Istanbul, it’s a manageable 479 kilometers away, roughly a 5-hour and 24-minute drive.

Make the journey hassle-free with our chauffeured car rental services, complete with a personal daily driver in Istanbul straight to Izmir to help you explore all that Izmir has to offer at your own pace.
