Izmir is one of the focal points of history, nature, sea and gastronomy tourism due to its location. In addition to being an attractive destination for local and foreign tourists, it also serves as an ideal bridge for the passage to the three Greek islands in the Aegean. Travel to Samos, Chios and Lesbos can be made from four different points in Izmir.
