Aliağa, Industrial district in Izmir, Turkey.

The northern district of Izmir extends over 379 square kilometers along the Aegean coast, featuring sandy beaches and advanced industrial facilities.

The area transformed from a Greek-populated agricultural region to a major industrial zone in the 1970s, becoming Turkey's third most developed municipality.

Archaeological discoveries in 2021 uncovered a monastery dating from the 4th to 14th century, adding to the district's collection of ancient Aeolian sites.

The district connects to Izmir through the IZBAN railway system with 15 daily trains and regular ESHOT bus services on route 834.

The district's ship-breaking facilities process numerous vessels, including retired cruise ships, contributing to global maritime recycling operations.
