Review:

The third-largest city in Turkey, Izmir is situated near the sparkling azure waters of the Bay of Izmir. Approximately half of the city's residents are under the age of 30, giving the city a laid-back, youthful atmosphere that manages to welcome people of all ages. There are plenty of things for visitors to see and do here, but highlights include taking a horse-drawn carriage along the beautiful waterfront promenade, visiting the city's impressive museum of history and art, and stopping by one of the most interesting bazaars in the country to do a bit of shopping or people-watching.
