Izmir Maps and Orientation
(Izmir, Turkey, TR)



A significant Turkish port city, Izmir lies next to the Aegean Sea and the Gulf of Izmir, and has long been the capital of the province with the same name. The city is currently home to more than two and a half million residents and is now Turkey's number three city in terms of overall population density.

Izmir is an extremely historical city and is actually one of the Mediterranean's oldest settlements, which is believed to date back more than 5,000 years. In 1922, the city suffered a devastating fire and lost many of its most significant buildings at this time, being dramatically restructured soon after.
