Izmir: Attractions and more...
Among its most important events are the International Festival of Arts, between June

and July, during which perform international artists, orchestras, dancers, jazz & rock bands, theatrical companies, and its International Fair, too, from August to September

Sights no to be missed are:

  • The Archeological Museum, in which aside the two statues of Demeter and Poseidon are preserved other interesting historical items;
  • The Museum of Fine Arts where works of  National Artists are displayed;
  • The Museum of Natural History, where evidences of the Aegean culture can be admired.
In Baurakli is a temple to Athena and, in proximity of Mount Pagos can be admired the ruins of an astonishing castle at the time of Alexander the Great, from where an extraordinary view over Izmir Gulf can be enjoyed.

It should be interesting a visit to the most antique church in Izmir, Saint Polycarp and Saat Kulesi, ottoman styled.

Hisar, from the end of the 16th century, is the most antque Mosque in Izmir.

But Izmir has many parks, too!
Among the manies are Kulturpark, the widest green area in town, Olof Palm, a nice spot to go to and get relaxed and Muammer Aksoy, a pretty seaside area where what a great view of Izmir Bay can be enjoyed from!

Not to be missed is its Birds  Protected Area for water birds, a true paradise where live several species, not far from Karsıyaka.

Shopping goers will get nice opportunities in Kemeralti, good for jewelry, clothing, articrafts and more, but first class shops are to be seen in Kordon Promenades in Alsancak.
