    Our guide, Bilgin, was wonderful, and we really enjoyed the ruins of Ephesus. It was a hot summer day and there were a lot of people visiting, but it was very interesting. We even saw a brief reenactment of a gladiator fight!

    The tour was great. Erman was a great guide. He took us to interesting and historical sites in the city. He gave us free time to have a drink and relax. The explanations were very interesting, and he was very fluent in English and Spanish. We were delighted.

Its lively waterfront, bustling bazaars, and picturesque neighborhoods invite visitors to experience the essence of the Turkish Riviera. From its delicious cuisine to its warm hospitality, Izmir is a destination full of surprises for every traveler.

A Glimpse into the Past

Once known as Smyrna, the city has a rich heritage shaped by Greeks, Romans, Ottomans, and many others who left their mark. Charming ruins and historical sites can still be spotted throughout, reflecting centuries of cultural exchange and commercial importance along the Aegean Sea.
