More than an airport gateway
İzmir has its own waterfront, urban heritage and cultural institutions. Passing through its airport on the way to Ephesus does not count as a city visit.
Choose a particular interest
Ancient Smyrna, Christian history, Sephardic heritage and modern waterfront life suggest different city days. A museum-focused visit differs from a relaxed Kordon walk.
Leave real time in the city
Add an overnight or a dedicated sightseeing period where the route allows. Confirm transport between the city, Selçuk and your Aegean accommodation.
