In Izmir, you take the ferry not to go anywhere in particular, but to see the city.

The city of Izmir is one of the richest in Turkey in terms of museums and historical sites. With a single pass, you can visit both major attractions like Ephesus and Bergama, as well as the smaller museums located within the city.

You learn about Izmir's cuisine not in restaurants, but at the stalls. The city's most beloved foods are cheap, meant to be eaten on the go, and you won't find them anywhere else. Here are some words you should know; there's no test, but your stomach will be rumbling. Boyoz.

Izmir has its own unique rhythm; it's unlike the hustle and bustle of Istanbul or the resort atmosphere of Antalya.
