Leave from port for a tour of Izmir, Turkey’s third largest city, with a population of nearly 4 million.
An orientation tour along the streets of Izmir will tell you that the city is today, and has been throughout centuries, a major port and commercial center, especially for the export of agricultural products, including the rich flavored tobacco Turkey is famous for, and world famous grapes and figs.
Your first stop will be at the Citadel, Kadifekale on Mount Pagos, an impressive building which has withstood several renovations since Byzantine times. Then continue to Roman Agora.
Enter the Museum of Archaeology for a look at the great variety of artifacts, elegant Classical sculptures, and other finds from excavations of the city.
Finally, visit the charming Asansor Quarter, filled with restored old houses and also known as the Jewish Quarter. Dario Moreno Street is the main pedestrian throughway that leads to the Asansor itself, which is an elevator built in the 19th century and still functioning, connecting the upper and lower streets via a 51-meter ascent.
Return to the pier at the end of the program. |
