Izmir Province Holidays

Discover the endless attractions of the Aegean Coast, a region described by the Turkish writer Heredotus as having, “the most beautiful sky and the best climate in the world”, not to mention the golden beaches, traditional old quarters and countless ancient treasures.

These sun baked Aegean soils provide foundations for the ancient cities of Ephesus and Troy, while “cotton castle” Pamukkale continues to wow visitors that recognise a natural wonder when they see one.

Izmir is the third-largest city in Turkey and it’s the largest port. Izmir is huge, hot, and dusty, with hillsides festooned with concrete apartment blocks. Once the ancient Greek city of Smyrna, and for many centuries the eastern terminus of the silk route from China, Izmir has a great history, plus one of the most authentic bazaars in western Turkey.

Holidays to Izmir offer the chance to visit the well-preserved city of Ephesus and see St John`s Basilica. Then, head on to the House of the Virgin Mary where she is said to have spent her last days. Sail away for the day aboard a gulet-style boat, working on your tan or swimming in the clear, refreshing sea on your Izmir holiday.
