Tired of the usual summer retreats within the country? Feeling the need to go out and explore the rest of the world? If this is exactly how you feel, then it is definitely a fine time to get out of the world you are used to and take flights to Izmir in Turkey or to any other similar locations in the Eastern part of the Earth.

Izmir is an appealing city in the country of Turkey. The city is the third most populous one in the country and has the second largest port as well. It is strategically located along the Gulf of Izmir in the Aegean Sea. This Mediterranean location makes the city an adoring place for tourists and locals alike.

The city is a perfect historical place to fall in love with. A good amount of magnificent architectural structures was consumed by a great fire sometime in 1922. However, there are still several significant landmarks that fire up the charm of Izmir.

One remarkable sight to see in Izmir is unique Saa Kulesi, which is an oriental clock tower located on Konak Square. Made of marble, it stands remarkably at 82 feet high. Another wonderful sight to take in is the ancient castle called Kadifekale, which is the same name of the hill where the said castle is located. The top of the hill where the castle is gives one a splendid view of the whole city as well as the glistening Mediterranean waters. The Agora of Smyrna, a well-preserved Roman marketplace, is the most popular tourist spot in the city of Izmir. It now comprises a large part of the Agora Open Air Museum. More so, there are different Jewish synagogues and other museums in Izmir that are sure to capture anyone’s hearts.

In the rest of the Izmir province, one can go ahead and explore the many sights to behold. A day trip along Aegean Sea coast will surely make the whole out of the country trip an experience to remember.
