Foça, Coastal municipality in İzmir Province, Turkey
Foça extends along two bays named Büyükdeniz and Küçükdeniz, featuring ancient stone buildings and modern waterfront developments on the Aegean coast.
Founded in the 11th century BC as Phocaea, the settlement gained prominence for establishing colonies across the Mediterranean, including Marseille in present-day France.
The local fishing industry shapes the daily life of Foça residents, with fishermen bringing fresh catches to the harbor markets every morning.
Visitors can reach Foça through regular bus services from İzmir city center, with the journey taking approximately ninety minutes along coastal roads.
The waters surrounding Foça form a protected marine area dedicated to preserving the Mediterranean monk seal population and their natural habitat.
