Turkey means first, other religion, other culture, other mentalities. It's a nice experience to travel there to feel the people's hospitality and to know the Turkish style of life.
Izmir (or Smyrna) is the third largest city in Turkey. A guided tour it's the best choice to see more of the Izmir's highlights: there are lots of mosques, Christian church, Anglican church, synagogue, seven museums, residential areas, historical streets and markets.

Here it’s Izmir’s bazaar. To visit bazaar it’s a must for understanding Turkey. You’ll can obtain very good prices for different products, especially vegetables, fruits, sweets, clothes, leather, things for houses or you can visit bazaar just like a strange experience.

Everyone wants to visit the ruins of the ancient Greek city of Asia Minor, Ephesus. The city was famed for the Temple of Artemis, one of the Seven Wonders of the ancient world. Today, it's the most important archaeological and historical city in Turkey. The ruins also include a huge amphitheatre with a 24.000 seat capacity and superb acoustic effects, a gymnasium, agora and baths, the Library of Celsus and other and other traces of the old word. Ephesus contains the largest collection of Roman ruins in the East of the Mediterranean. Only an estimated 15% has been excavated. The ruins that are visible give some idea of the city's original splendour.

The house where the Virgin Mary spent her last days. According to predominant Christian tradition, Mary was brought to Ephesus by the Apostle John after the Resurrection of Christ and lived out her days there.

You can spent one day on a one of the golden fine sandy beaches of Cesme. Also some places, close to Cesme, are suitable for nautical sports such as surfing, sailing and diving.

... or to have a walk on the Izmir's sea shore. You can have a rest to one restaurant, close to the sea, to taste the Turkish dishes with lots of eggplant, tomatoes, peppers, grilled kebabs and yogurt sauces or fish specialities and to enjoy the amazing Turkish sweets.
