Best Izmir Tours from 伊兹密尔

See the reputed birthplace of the revered Homer in the former Greek city of Smyrna. Cosmopolitan Izmir, Turkey’s third-largest city, is today a center of commerce and one of the country’s most liberal and multicultural cities. History buffs will not want to miss the ancient Agora, which was built for none other than Alexander the Great. Although destroyed in an earthquake in 178 AD, it was later rebuilt by Roman emperor Marcus Aurelius, and a Muslim cemetery was later built on the site where many tombstones can still be found.
