I must admit that Izmir<\/strong> was the city that captivated me the least during my trip to T\u00fcrkiye. Perhaps because I had just visited places with a much stronger historical and visual impact, or perhaps because I didn't find any sites that stood out from what I'd already seen in the country. Still, I found it interesting to explore and, above all, use it as a base to explore one of Turkey's most picturesque coastal towns.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Historically known as Smyrna<\/strong>, it was one of the most important cities of the ancient world and today is the third largest in the country<\/strong>, after Istanbul and Ankara. Although I didn't like it as much as other destinations, in this post I'm going to tell you what things are worth keeping in mind if you decide to visit<\/strong>, and what places might be interesting within a city that combines history, modernity and coastal life.<\/p>\n\n\n
