Tourist guide Izmir
İzmir, an ancient Lady, 5,000 years in age, is one of the most numerously inhabited turkish cities with a very efficient port, in the Aegean Sea, not far from Izmir Gulf, where live nearly 4,000,000 people.

In the 7th century  the city becomes a very important and wealthy trading centre.

In the 16th century, following to its growing importance in commerce, a castle was strategically built, to allow ships in and out the port,, and new buildings risen up to help the trading activity.

It is an  industrial and commercial hub, perfectly connected with any destination in Turkey, not far from Ephesus, synonim of propserity, great architecture, high culture and past traditions and Pergamum, two favorite archeological sites visited by hourds of tourists, every year.
At present Izmir or the pearl of Aegean as commonly known, is a bustling and modern young city, increasingly stepping into european life style, though preserving its original character and long cultural tradition!

It is a bustling and lively city featuring an international, thrilling character all year along, embellished by the contrast between the nearby mountains and  its extraordinary shoreline, such the natural perfection of the place is!

In the course of years, local cousine has strongly been influenced by its own cultural traditions, as well as its agricultural opportunities, which have greatly favoured the produce of vegetables.

Specialties are the tarhana soup whose essential ingredients are tomatoes and yoghurt; zerde, rice with saffron, keskek, meat & wheat boiled.

The climate can be considered a mild one and in summer sea breezes temper the sun's heat and get the air cooler.
