Izmir City Tour from Pamukkale

Izmir is the 3rd largest City in Turkey and the 2nd largest seaport.  Following the Turkish revolutionary war much of the city needed to be rebuilt; as a result the city today is an interesting mixture of modern High rise buildings with wide tree-lined boulevards. Izmir is a lovely city and worth a visit during your stay in Turkey.
