Aliağa, Industrial district in Izmir, Turkey.
Aliağa is a large industrial district in İzmir Province along the Aegean coast in northwestern Turkey. The area spans broad expanses of modern factory and processing facilities, with ship-breaking and maritime recycling as major operations.
The area was once an agricultural region with a predominantly Greek population. It transformed during the 20th century into one of Turkey's major industrial centers.
The area preserves traces of ancient settlements and religious sites from earlier centuries. These remains reflect the long human presence along this stretch of coast.
The area is well connected to Izmir through rail and bus services and is crossed by major highways. Visitors should know this is not a typical tourist destination but an active industrial and port zone.
The district hosts major ship-breaking yards where thousands of vessels arrive for scrapping, including massive passenger ships. This recycling activity makes the location a crucial hub for the global maritime industry.
