Izmir is the city where you can understand everything about Turkey.

Izmir in a Few Words

Before we start, you should know that Izmir is the 3rd largest city in Turkey, located on the west side, with a Mediterranean climate and a good living environment. Until a few years ago, the city was still very undeveloped, there were no skyscrapers to pollute the beautiful view of the sea, but there was also little public transportation and little entertainment. Nevertheless, the great advantage of Izmir was that it was very close to the most beautiful beaches of the country. This is one reason why Izmir was very popular with sunbathers.

Izmir is a much better served city, much livelier and more accessible. Unfortunately, who says infrastructure development, also says huge glass towers, shopping malls at all ends and fast-food chains at every corner. Some buildings have indeed appeared and are only the first of a great lineage that is coming. Without much surprise, the city is full of AVM (shopping malls) and Burger King is finally king.

1st stop: Kusadasi

Kusadasi, translated as Bird Island, is a resort that I 100% recommend for families and young groups of friends. It is an absolutely beautiful place, with small coves and clean beaches. The sand is fine, the evening entertainment is very nice and to everyone's taste. You can visit the island of birds, where there is a café bought by a French woman a long time ago. You can go on boat tours, do water activities, but above all, you will find peace and quiet.

2nd Stop: Didim

Didim is the ideal seaside resort for young people. It has developed well since 2006. The beach is crowded. The water was too warm and beautiful. We recommend to find a hotel with a private beach, because the public beach is very crowded, you have to pay for the deckchairs, and you can get annoyed. In the evening, there is the beach promenade, all the bars and the best of all, Medusa. The Garden is also very nice. The food is cheap and so are the drinks. Don't forget your sunscreen.

Bodrum is a seaside resort to have fun, to walk on the beautiful marina, to visit (the castle), and to swim on beaches more beautiful than the others. It is therefore the most fashionable seaside resort in the country. So, we can tell you right away, the beach in the center of Bodrum is null and void. On the other hand, the beaches around are beautiful. You can get to Gumbet, Camel Beach, etc. by minibus via Otogar (the otobus station). The 2 nightclubs to do are Halikarnas and Catamaran but there are also small bars of all styles, hip-hop, salsa, tango, reggae ...

A private boat will be entirely at your disposal in the second scenario!

Marmaris is regarded as the official yachting capital of the Turkish Republic, but Bodrum may challenge it. a tiny vacation destination in the southeast of the nation, close to the Aegean Sea. A thousand-year-old fortification enclosing the town, snow-white three-story homes arranged in straight rows like a plan, and imposing mountain ranges in the distance are only a few of the attractions. It also has a distinctive landscape and distinctive style. When the sun sets, the show takes on a magnificent quality, especially if you see it while sailing.
