Hotels in Izmir

Izmir is as much a gateway as a destination in its own right, with the ancient city of Ephesus and some excellent beach resorts just a short drive from the city itself.

Selçuk: beach resorts right by Ephesus

Palm Wings Ephesus Beach Resort and Korumar Ephesus Beach & Spa Resort, All Inclusive both put you within easy reach of the ancient ruins at Ephesus, one of the best-preserved classical cities in the Mediterranean, while still keeping you right on the coast. Aqua Fantasy Aquapark Hotel & Spa, All Inclusive adds a waterpark into the mix, a great pick if you're travelling with the family and want history by day and slides by afternoon.

Menderes: a quieter base near the airport

Club Marvy offers an all-round holiday base in Menderes, handy for its proximity to Izmir Adnan Menderes Airport as well as the wider Aegean coast.
