İzmir Province

The province extends along the Aegean Sea coast with 30 districts covering 11,891 square kilometers of land including mountains, valleys, and beaches.

The region contained ancient Smyrna, which Alexander the Great relocated beyond the Meles River around 340 BC, transforming it into a significant Mediterranean port.

The province represents a combination of Turkish and Mediterranean influences through its architecture, food traditions, and religious sites from multiple periods.

The region connects to other provinces through highways, railways, and an international airport, while featuring multiple ports for maritime transportation.

The province generates twenty percent of Turkey's wind energy capacity through installations exceeding 1,300 megawatts across its territories.
