İzmir, Port city in Turkey

Izmir stretches along the Aegean Sea coast with mountains forming a natural amphitheater around the Gulf of Izmir at 9 meters above sea level.

The settlement, originally named Smyrna, dates back to 3000 BC and developed into a major Mediterranean trading center under Greek, Roman, and Ottoman rule.

The International Izmir Fair, established in 1927, brings together exhibitors and visitors from numerous countries to showcase regional products and technological innovations.

The city connects to major destinations through its international airport, extensive bus networks, metro system, and regular ferry services across the Gulf of Izmir.

The Clock Tower at Konak Square, built in 1901, incorporates Ottoman and European architectural elements and functions as the primary meeting point for locals.
