Turquoise water of a beach in the province of Izmir, Turkey

Izmir holidays

Izmir is a superb mix of city and beach fused together to offer the perfect mix for anyone in search of an all-encompassing break. Kusadasi, known as Turkey‘s jewel of the north, is a port town awash with an eclectic mix of colour, sights and sounds. A stylish marina, trendy waterfront cafe bars sit side by side with the old traditional bars full of locals playing board games and smoking their water pipes. There is also a busy marketplace, some great shopping and a beach offering a range of facilities. Altinkum further along the coastline is an authentic destination popular with the locals and focusing on pure unadulterated fun in the sun. Lots of water sports, plenty of inexpensive dining and a range of hotels to suit every pocket.
