Izmir or Smyrna is the third largest City in Turkey and the second largest sea port, with a population of 3.95 million (2010). Following the Turkish revolutionary war, much of the city needed to be rebuilt; as a result the city today is an interesting mixture of modern high rise buildings with wide tree lined boulevards. There are still many traditional houses and chateaux hidden away to discover through.

Tourism
A visit to Izmir cannot be complete without spending a few hours wandering round the Market Area of Kemer Alti. This is a bustling Bazaar where literally anything can be purchased. It is a confusing warren of small allies, dead ends, connecting squares, shopping centers, offices, workshops, cinemas, mosques and just about anything else you can think of, there is even a renovated Kervan Saray hidden in there. You are pretty much guaranteed to lose your way, but don't panic you will find your way out eventually.
The Culture Park in the Alsancak district hosts the annual Izmir International Fair, held every year in september. The rest of the year many other fairs and expos take place also. In addition to serving the commercial needs of the city, the Culture Park provides a relaxing green area in the middle of the city for the residents to lay back, drink tea, play backgammon and smoke a "hubbly bubbly pipe" (Nargile) or even exercise on the running track.
The city of Izmir itself does not possess any beaches; however a short journey to the north, east or south of the city will take you to either bustling tourist resorts, or quiet secluded peaceful beaches.
The region has been inhabited since 3000 AD so the area is rich in historical sites. These can be found within the city (Kadifekale - Bayrakli) but also within a short drive you can find Ephesus, Pergamon, Sardis, Teos and many more places to explore.
