The remains of the buildings of the commercial part of the ancient city of Smyrna are well preserved. The museum area is not very large, not like in Ephesus, but the preserved skeletons of the Roman period, the source of Alexander the Great, are impressive. In general, there is a lot to see in western Turkey

Agora, it is interesting to plunge into the atmosphere of the old town. It's a pity that we didn't go on a tour in Russian(. It would be wonderful to hear how the city was built and how it lived in the distant times. I definitely recommend you to visit.

A huge set in the open air. The cost of the visit is 25 euros plus a guide in Russian 350 lira. There are a lot of people, a lot of places to go and see.

An interesting place from the point of view of history. Very well maintained, lots of good angles for photos. It is interesting to read boards with historical notes.
There you can also see the implementation of a water pipeline using antique technologies. Lots of affectionate cats))
There are a lot of huge dogs upstairs, which creates discomfort.
Nearby there is Parking, cafes, on-site toilet.
I recommend it for a visit!

As I understand it, Izmir is a very colorful place. We visited there in the evening after work. There are almost no visitors. But the place itself is interesting, ancient buildings have been preserved where you can wander. There are many stands with descriptions in English

The museum essentially consists only of the ruins of an ancient basilica, some parts of which are relatively well preserved. There is a toilet, but for some reason it does not work. Admission for foreigners is 6 euros, for Turks, of course, much less. There is a pack of stray dogs hanging out upstairs, which were not aggressive towards us, but barked at another visitor.

An interesting, antique place. It is noteworthy that it borders between the city center, where everything is beautiful and milking tourists and with steel districts where the situation is completely different))

It causes a strange feeling. Marble road, the remains of the theater, columns. The full picture of the earthquake result. The past is in the present..

It is interesting to look at the ancient historical site, but half of it is closed for reconstruction, and it is unclear when it will open. Therefore, there is a slight disappointment, as well as from the Kadifekale market.
