Almaty Izmir - Cheap flights

Izmir definitely stands out among other Turkish cities in terms of openness to western countries and promoted by them habits or values. The city’s street fashion is more carefree, citizens are less orthodox, even architecture has some imprints of European style. If while being in Turkey, we would like to see its other face, Izmir is a perfect place to do so. One shouldn’t worry though that while visiting Izmir, he won’t taste a bit of magical orient. It is worth going to the city square, agora, whose history originated in ancient times and which served as a centre of political life.

Another important point on the touristic map of the city is Izmir’s symbol – a famous Clock Tower (Saat Kulesi) from the beginning of the 20th century. According to some legends, a clock from the tower never stopped, others believed it happened only once during an earthquake from 1974. The clock tower serves as a meeting point for citizens in the evenings and an object of admiration for tourists. In the early hours of the morning, it is worth taking a boat trip through port and marvel at architecture of the metropolis that is waking up.

The city has something to offer for those missing green spots, as it in its heart lies a huge park with astonishing, oriental flora. Keep in mind that you don’t have to visit Turkey only in summer. It is best to sightsee Izmir in spring, when temperature aren’t that high yet and scent of blooming flowers lingers in the air.
