IZMIR - TURKEY




Izmir, (Turkey`s third largest city) has been for ages regarded as `The pearl of the Aegean`. The present day Izmir is the most westernized city of Turkey in terms of lifestyle of the inhabitants, their values and ideologies.

Continuous archeological excavations have led to the unearthing of many such world-famous monuments from Izmir`s historical past.  We visited some of these relics such as the Zeus Altar, the Artemis Temple are a part of Izmir`s distant past. Some important constructions of the Roman period are the Agora, Acropolis, Theater and the Stadium.
