Izmir Tours

Izmir : Izmir has come a long way since the late 1800s when the Ottoman elite christened the port city Kokaryali (Smelly Waterfront).Today the city has earned the nobler designation of Güzelyali (Beautiful Waterfront) and with the completion of a multimillion dolar redevelopment plan that includes a green waterside park , a promenade called the Kordon and the restored customs house (or Konak Pier) built by Gustave Eiffel, the name is more than appropriate.
Little was left after the fire ignited at the tail end of the War of Independence destroyed all traces of the cultural melting pot that was Smyrna – and there is that perilous but dormant fault line to contend with.Eighty - two years after the reconstruction began, Izmir has been reinvented as a prosperous, cosmopolitan, commercial city, more livable than Istanbul, less sterile than Ankara and filled with wide boulevards and swaying palm trees. But with the azure waters of the Aegean and the extraordinary remains of Ephesus competing for tourist attention, Izmir sadly falls short. Despite this, I actually love the place.There is plenty to do here for anyone who chooses to take an extended stay.

Tour Plan :

Day 1 : Meet you at Izmir Adnan Menderes Airport and drive to Ephesus It's greatest asset is its closeness to the magnificent ruins of Ephesus. We will spend several hours walking in the footsteps of Alexander the Great, Caesar, Cicero, Apostles Paul and John and many other familiar historical names. The recently opened Slope Houses where the wealthiest Romans lived are an excellent example of sensitive excavation and presentation. The mosaics and frescoes are spectacular. Tradition has it that Virgin Mary was brought here by St John after the Crucifixion and lived her final years near the city of Ephesus on an isolated mountaintop. A lovely chapel is constructed on the site tended by Franciscans and open to visitors. It has been designated a pilgrimage site by the Pope.
Day 2 : Check out from the hotel and drive to Bergama / Pergamon The city of Bergama is historically famous for its antique city of Pergamon and for it traditional quarter of Ottoman houses. After the death of Alexander the Great his generals divided up his Kingdom. Over the following years an impressive metropolis was built in the rocky terrain with beautiful temples, roads, a vast library rivaling that of Alexander’s in Egypt and a school of medicine, which survived for centuries. Eventually, the Kingdom of Pergamon was bequeathed to the Roman Empire. End of the our service, we will transfer you airport.
