İzmir, day by day

İzmir is the third city of Turkey, the least religious and the most relaxed, and it sits at the head of a gulf with Ephesus an hour to the south and the Çeşme peninsula an hour to the west. These plans use it as both a city and a base, with 2026 opening hours and honest travel times.
