We want to answer this question straight away and say <strong>YES.<\/strong> Izmir is fantastic, and vibrant and was the perfect getaway to Turkey for our first trip to the country.

Avoid the high season altogether, as with many cruise ships; the city becomes crowded and unpleasant with high temperatures reaching over 35\u00b0C. We invite you to consider Izmir as the ideal spot to <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/italiantripabroad.it\/Blog\/winter-sun-destinations-in-europe\/\"><span style=\"color: var(--stk-global-color-27229, #003f48);background: linear-gradient(to bottom, transparent 50%, var(--stk-global-color-27309, #cce5ea) 50%)\" class=\"stk-highlight\">escape the winter in Europe<\/span><\/a><\/strong> because of the delightful moderate Mediterranean climate and moderate temperature, but never too low. With a few cold spells from November to February, the region experiences ideal sunny days for most of the year.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Also, consider visiting Izmir in September or October if you want to see it uncrowded and off the beaten path; the weather is still pleasant but not overly hot during these months. The days are warm throughout this period, and the evenings are cool. This period is also perfect for organising a few <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/italiantripabroad.it\/Blog\/izmir-day-trips\/\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><span style=\"color: var(--stk-global-color-27229, #003f48);background: linear-gradient(to bottom, transparent 50%, var(--stk-global-color-27309, #cce5ea) 50%)\" class=\"stk-highlight\">day trips from Izmir<\/span><\/a><\/strong>, enjoying the surrounding area and local culture. <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/italiantripabroad.it\/Blog\/izmir-day-trips\/\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><span style=\"color: var(--stk-global-color-27229, #003f48);background: linear-gradient(to bottom, transparent 50%, var(--stk-global-color-27309, #cce5ea) 50%)\" class=\"stk-highlight\">Check our guide to the Izmir countryside<\/span><\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" data-block-type=\"core\"><strong>How to get to Izmir?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>You can get to Izmir by flight from many airports in the UK and Europe. Some of the biggest cities in Europe offer direct flights to Izmir without a layover. As you can see, Izmir is the perfect destination as it is just about a 2 to 3 hours flight away from central Europe, but it is one of the <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/italiantripabroad.it\/Blog\/asia\/\">main getaways to<\/a> Asia countries<\/strong> and cultures.

Every year Istanbul receives over 13 million foreign visitors, making it the most popular tourist destination in Turkey. In contrast, Izmir received just over 2 million foreign visitors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\" data-block-type=\"core\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/italiantripabroad.it\/Blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/Beautiufl-shop-along-Bazaar-area-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"Beautiful shop along Bazaar area - Izmir\" class=\"wp-image-23806\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/italiantripabroad.it\/Blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/Beautiufl-shop-along-Bazaar-area-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/italiantripabroad.it\/Blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/Beautiufl-shop-along-Bazaar-area-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/italiantripabroad.it\/Blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/Beautiufl-shop-along-Bazaar-area-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/italiantripabroad.it\/Blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/Beautiufl-shop-along-Bazaar-area-150x100.jpg 150w, https:\/\/italiantripabroad.it\/Blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/Beautiufl-shop-along-Bazaar-area.jpg 1500w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Is Izmir worth visiting?

However, Kemeralti Bazaar in Izmir is the real market of the city.

The city was <strong>founded by the Greeks around 3000 years ago<\/strong> and later <strong>became an important port city during the Roman Empire<\/strong>.

The city has a range of museums, galleries, and cultural centres that showcase the city&#8217;s heritage, including the <strong>Izmir Archaeological Museum<\/strong>, which houses a vast collection of artefacts from the <strong>Greek and Roman periods, and the Izmir Ethnography Museum<\/strong>, which displays traditional costumes, crafts, and musical instruments from different regions of Turkey.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\" data-block-type=\"core\"><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\" data-block-type=\"core\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/italiantripabroad.it\/Blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/Alacati-street-food-Rise-and-mussels-with-lemon-What-to-eat-in-Izmir-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"Alacati street food - Rise and mussels with lemon - What to eat in Izmir\" class=\"wp-image-23803\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/italiantripabroad.it\/Blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/Alacati-street-food-Rise-and-mussels-with-lemon-What-to-eat-in-Izmir-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/italiantripabroad.it\/Blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/Alacati-street-food-Rise-and-mussels-with-lemon-What-to-eat-in-Izmir-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/italiantripabroad.it\/Blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/Alacati-street-food-Rise-and-mussels-with-lemon-What-to-eat-in-Izmir-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/italiantripabroad.it\/Blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/Alacati-street-food-Rise-and-mussels-with-lemon-What-to-eat-in-Izmir-150x100.jpg 150w, https:\/\/italiantripabroad.it\/Blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/Alacati-street-food-Rise-and-mussels-with-lemon-What-to-eat-in-Izmir.jpg 1500w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" data-block-type=\"core\"><strong>Delicious food<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Our mouth is still watering from the delicious food we tried in Turkey.

It&#8217;s time now to pack your bags and see for yourself<strong>.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" data-block-type=\"core\"><strong><span style=\"color: var(--stk-global-color-27229, #003f48);background: linear-gradient(to bottom, transparent 50%, var(--stk-global-color-27309, #cce5ea) 50%)\" class=\"stk-highlight\">Q&amp;A | Why visit Izmir?<\/span><\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" data-block-type=\"core\"><strong>Is Izmir safe?<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Yes, <strong>we felt very safe in Izmir, <\/strong>even roaming around busy markets. Like every big city, also Izmir has its problems, but as a conscious traveller, you should be cautious about places you visit and always look around if in crowded places. As always, keep an eye on your belongings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" data-block-type=\"core\"><strong>How many days should I stay in Izmir?<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>We suggest staying in Izmir for at least 5 days, as there is so much to do in the city and surrounding area. Izmir province is filled with incredible attractions, from Pammukale to Ephesus. You will spend entire days roaming around the maze streets of local markets, admiring the museums and interacting with locals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" data-block-type=\"core\"><strong>What is special about Izmir?<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Definitely, Izmir history is fascinating. A <strong>city that was founded by Greek<\/strong> and became an important commerce point for Romans. Izmir keeps the ancient style and vibes and preserves important cultural heritage sights, boosting in the meantime a fantastic coast side overlooking the Aegean Sea. The melting pot of cultures also develops a peculiar local gastronomy, unique in the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" data-block-type=\"core\"><strong>Which is better, Bodrum or Izmir?<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The two places are totally different. Izmir is an urban city; on the other hand, Bodrum is a resort town. So, if you are looking for a more exciting holiday time, Izmir is the location we suggest booking. But, instead, if you want a party and more vacation vibes, Bodrum is the solution for your next time off. But, of course, one doesn&#8217;t exclude the other if you are willing to spend a few days in the city and some others chilling and partying in Bodrum.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" data-block-type=\"core\"><span style=\"color: var(--stk-global-color-27229, #003f48);\" class=\"stk-highlight\">WHERE TO GO NEXT?<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/italiantripabroad.it\/Blog\/is-thessaloniki-worth-visiting\/\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"24852\">IS WORTH TO VISIT THESSALONIKI?<\/a> |<\/strong> Among the many destinations in Greece, Thessaloniki is only one of the most popular.
