Izmir Private Shore Excursions |
|
Welcome to Turkey's dazzling Aegean Coast, and the port city of Izmir. Thousands of years of history make this a fascinating region to explore - from modern-day bazaars to ancient Greco-Roman ruins, there is no shortage of adventure. Take a private Izmir shore excursion with a local guide and experience the best Izmir has to offer - plus a warm dose of Turkish hospitality.
Your day in Izmir can begin with a Turkish coffee at one of the waterfront cafes dotting the lively Kordon. Ask your guide to take you to Kadifekale castle, where you can enjoy sweeping views of the town and bay below. Outside the city, ancient wonders abound. Visit the Roman Acropolis and Asclepion in the ancient hilltop ruins of Pergamum, just west of modern-day Bergama. Priene, Miletos and Dydima also boast extensive archaeological sites which your guide will happily explore with you.
Your guide will happily customize a private Izmir shore excursion that reflects your unique travel interests in the region. |
