Terrific turkey

Garlanded around the Aegean sea on the Western coast of Turkey, Izmir is an unique Mediterranean town embedded with Greek history. The paved streets winding past squares, baths and monumental ruins take you back to the glorious past of the Roman reign. Its seafront promenade, old stone houses, painted shutters and doors all covered in rambling bright coloured bougainvillea makes Izmir a city full of life.
