Izmir is the third largest city in Turkey There are no traces of over-commercialization in the resort area here Instead, there is a leisurely pace of life and friendly prices Locals are very enthusiastic about tourists Itinerary: Izmir city center: 0.5-1 day There are not many attractions, mainly to feel a slow-paced leisure tour, watch the sunset, walk by the sea, eat seafood, etc. 🌈Attractions: ①Big elevator: Free ride, you can see the scenery of half of the city and half of the Aegean Sea on the top floor, it is recommended to go and see ②Clock tower: It's just a small square with many pigeons.

⛱️Must-visit attractions: ▪️Antalya: The temperature soared to 40 degrees starting in Antalya. The city of Antalya is not big, but there are many scenic spots to visit around it and the sea is also beautiful. At sunset, the whole city will gather at the lighthouse by the sea, bringing beer and cracking melon seeds to watch the sunset. And the prices are the most beautiful of all cities. ▪️D400: The most beautiful thing was the blue hole jelly sea we encountered by chance, which strengthened our determination to swim in the sea. I didn't have a good time in Kas due to the high temperature. I believe the scenery is beautiful, but it is not much different from other small towns. ▪️Fethiye: Go to the market to buy fruits and then go to the beach and visit the vegetable market. You will get: cherries at 5 yuan per pound, watermelons at 1 yuan per kilogram, and many, many smiling faces! Then enjoy a fruit feast at the beach! ▪️Cesme: Cesme area belongs to Alacati district. The town is quiet, with few people during the day and bustling at night. · 🌄Travel guide: 1⃣️: Antalya: Kaleici-Hadrian Gate-Watch the sunset at the port 2⃣️: D400: Kaputas Beach-Kaş Town-Kumluca Town-Fethiye 3⃣️: Fethiye: Fethiye Cuma Pazari Market-Oludeniz Beach 4⃣️: Cesme: Alacati-Cesme Beach 🏨Accommodation guide: Be sure to check if the homestay has air conditioning! In addition, I don’t recommend staying in Alacati, it is a beautiful rural area in China, chickens, dogs and cats bark in turn all night... · 💗Other tips: 🚗Transportation: Antalya-Fethiye, charter a car

Getting There - The nearest big airport is Izmir. From Izmir you can either hire a taxi( expensive) or take a mini bus into ALacati. Attractions - ALacati is an Instagram haven with unique restaurant, bars, cafes, and shops. Everything is a bit pricier in this region compared to less touristic areas however if your currency is high you won’t think so. remember to bargain when you shop :) Hotels - I would recommend you to stay a few days at the centre of ALacati in a boutique hotel. there are many bohemian villas converted into hotels. Food & Restaurants - Turkish food is amazing however there is a great selection of western restaurants where you can find your usual favourite meals. Shopping - like I mentioned before there is a great selection of shops especially if you are the bohemian type, you will love the accessories and clothes. Don’t forget to bargain! #uniquelodging

Turkey|Alacati You don't have to go to Greece to feel the Mediterranean style town. You must come to Alacati, the favorite place in Turkey for self-driving travel. There are very few Chinese tourists, basically local tourists from Europe and Turkey. The daytime is quiet and serene. Most tourists go to the beach to play. There are only a few tourists left in the town. Taking pictures and drinking tea is very leisurely. At night, the impression of the town is overwhelmed during the day. All the streets are stuffed. Full of tourists, everyone is drinking and chatting on the head, the stalls at the night market are also put out, very lively, I recommend you not to miss this charming town.

Hello everyone, I'm Little L, a global traveler! Many asked about the expenses after my recent Turkey travel vlog, so here's a breakdown: Last summer, I spent around 20 days traveling freely in Turkey, with total costs under 6000 (excluding flights). Detailed city guides are in my "Turkey Travel Collection"! My itinerary: Istanbul 🔜 Ankara 🔜 Göreme 🔜 Antalya 🔜 Kaş 🔜 Kalkan 🔜 Fethiye 🔜 İzmir 🔜 Alaçatı 🔜 Çeşme 🔜 Istanbul I traveled clockwise, staying ~2 days per major stop. For the D400 route, if pressed for time, a counterclockwise road trip is recommended to stay closer to the coastal views. Transport: Relied mainly on public transport. Air-conditioned buses connect major cities—book via mobilet for popular routes. Turkish buses deserve praise: business-class seats, adjustable recliners, overnight comfort with snacks/drinks provided (far superior to Egypt's). Attractions: With Turkey's soaring prices (especially entrance fees), I prioritized favorites: - Topkapı Palace - Dolmabahçe Palace - Ephesus - Uçhisar Castle - Perge Consider a Museum Pass if visiting multiple sites. Activities: Plenty of options: hot air balloons, paragliding, island-hopping... Skipped ballooning (saved for Egypt) and did Kaş island-hopping (pricier than Fethiye's). Paragliding? Too scared of heights! Accommodation/Food: Hostels/guesthouses dominated this long trip (~100-200/day). Ate locally but cooked in kitchens at pricey towns (Göreme, Kaş)—my Chinese stomach rebels against constant Western meals after a month abroad. Tips: - Under 25? Get an ISIC card for discounts. - Turkish budget airlines require online check-in! - Choose left-side single seats near the front on buses (rear seats may not recline). Final thoughts: Turkey offers incredible value—whether on a 10k budget or limitless spending. Adapt to your style!

Hey everyone! Today, I'm sharing a romantic and charming city with you – Izmir, Türkiye, a hidden gem on the Aegean coast! It boasts stunning seascapes, ancient ruins, and a super laid-back atmosphere. Without further ado, let's get to the guide 👇 📍Itinerary Day 1: Arrival in Izmir - First Impressions of the City ✈️ After landing at Izmir Airport, take a pre-booked Grab to your hotel to check in. I recommend staying near Kulturpark. It's a residential area with relatively affordable prices and good quality accommodation, and it's conveniently located for all the attractions. 🌅 In the evening, take a stroll along the seaside promenade, feel the gentle sea breeze, and watch the sunset over the Aegean Sea. It's so relaxing! When you're tired, find a seaside restaurant, order some Turkish kebabs, and pair it with a glass of local wine. Cheers! Day 2: A Blend of History and Modernity - In-depth Izmir City Tour 🕙 Start your day by visiting the Konak Clock Tower. This Ottoman-style landmark building is steeped in history. The four fountains at the base create a wonderful atmosphere, and the nearby mosque is also worth a visit. 🚠 Next, head to the Izmir Elevator. Built in 1907 and funded by a Jewish businessman, this 51-meter-high elevator connects the old town highlands and the seaside. Ascend to the rooftop terrace for breathtaking views of the Izmir Bay. Order a Turkish coffee and enjoy the moment. 🛍️ In the afternoon, explore the Grand Bazaar, a shopper's paradise. It's filled with a wide variety of unique handicrafts, spices, carpets, and more. Remember to bargain! Day 3: Ephesus Ancient City - A Journey Through Millennia 🚄 Take the train from Basmane Train Station in Izmir to Selçuk, then transfer to a minibus to Ephesus Ancient City. The ancient city is home to many impressive Roman ruins, such as the Library of Celsus. Although only the frame and a few statues remain, you can still sense its former grandeur. There's also the Great Theatre, which could hold 25,000 people. Standing inside, you can almost hear the cheers and laughter from thousands of years ago. Oh, and there's also the earliest known example of a flush toilet, right next to the bathhouse. It's said that politicians and ministers would chat about politics while using the toilet. Isn't that interesting? 😆 Day 4: Çeşme & Alaçatı - Dreamy Towns on the Aegean Coast 🚗 In the morning, take a bus to Çeşme. First, visit the Çeşme Castle, built centuries ago to defend against pirates. From the castle, you can overlook the entire town. The sunset views are especially stunning, perfect for photos. 🌊 Next, go to Ilıca Beach. The water here is crystal clear, with shades of blue that deepen as you go further out. Find a lounge chair, soak up the sun, play in the water, and relax. 🚌 In the afternoon, head to Alaçatı. This town is full of Greek charm, with blue and white roofs and colorful houses, making you feel like you're in Santorini. Stroll through the town's shops, and when you're tired, find a cafe and sit by the street, enjoying the leisurely atmosphere. Day 5: Departure - Going Home with Wonderful Memories 🛍️ On the last day, you can wander around the city again and buy some souvenirs, such as Turkish Delight or spices. Pack your bags and head to the airport according to your flight schedule, concluding this unforgettable Izmir trip. 📝Travel Preparations 1. Documents: Passport (valid for more than 6 months), Turkish e-Visa (apply in advance), flight itinerary, hotel confirmation (printed). 2. Items: European standard adapter (2 round pins), power bank, phone charger, data cable; comfortable shoes (essential for walking), sunscreen clothing, sunglasses, sunscreen, hat, and other sun protection items; if you're going to the beach, remember to bring swimwear, goggles, and a beach towel. 3. Apps: Download Google Maps (super useful for navigation), Google Translate (essential for communication), and Grab (convenient and affordable for taxis). 🍜Food Recommendations 1. Kumru: A special Izmir sandwich made with chickpea yeast bread, filled with Izmir tulum cheese, green peppers, and tomatoes. Delicious both hot and cold. 2. Boyoz: A traditional street food pastry available in various flavors, including original, cheese, and spinach. It's a classic takeaway breakfast in Izmir, usually paired with boiled eggs. 3. Gevrek: Izmir's version of simit. The dough is pre-boiled in sugar syrup and covered with sesame seeds, giving it a particularly crispy texture. 4. Stuffed Mussels: Mussel shells filled with a mixture of mussels, rice, currants, salt, and spices, topped with lemon. Super delicious and available along the seaside promenade. 💡Tips 1. The currency in Türkiye is the lira. You can exchange some lira at the airport or exchange offices in the city, but credit cards are also widely accepted. 2. Most shops in Izmir are closed on Sundays, so plan your itinerary accordingly and avoid shopping on Sundays. 3. Be sure to bargain when shopping at the Grand Bazaar.

Turkey is another country that is a paradise for those who love the sea and beaches. Many Turkish people and tourists choose to visit the resort towns on the southwestern or southern Aegean coast. But what will the atmosphere be like if we visit in winter? Is it still worth visiting? Let's find out. The resort towns we visited are not far from Izmir, which is considered the largest city in that area. We visited 3 cities in total: Foça: - About an hour north of Izmir. - It is a seaside town that is not very famous for its beaches, but it is full of seafood restaurants, cafes, and shops that are still bustling in winter. - The prices of food and drinks are quite expensive since it is considered a tourist town. - Most restaurants and cafes are near the port, and there are quite a few people walking around. Alaçatı: - It is the only resort town that is not directly on the sea. - About an hour east of Izmir, going west. - During the day, there are some restaurants, cafes, bars, and shops open. But it is more lively in the summer and in the evening. - The architecture of the city's buildings is built with brick and stone, similar to the Greco-Roman style. Çeşme - It is considered a very important port city because there are ferries that can reach the islands of Greece. - It is located east of Izmir, about an hour and a half west and about 15 minutes from Alaçatı. - It is a very lively city with many restaurants, cafes, shops, tour companies and more. - The price of food here is not very expensive. - In the evening, you can go for a walk on the seaside promenade to watch the sunset and if the weather is good, you can see the Greek islands that are only an hour away. #TurkeyTravel #TurkishResortCities #Foça #Alaçatı #Çeçme #TourismTitle

Alaçatı (Turkish name), also known as Alacati, English translation Alacati, alias Agrilia, is a unique Mediterranean town on the west coast of Turkey. It is famous for its architecture, vineyards and windmills. It has a history of more than 150 years. It is world famous for windsurfing and kite surfing. An average of 300 days per year, crystal clear waters, light breezes and award-winning Turkish hotels. Alacati is one of the most authentic towns in Türkiye, with its stone houses, narrow streets, boutique hotels and street tables. Alacati has a rich nightlife, and the night market on the seaside is open until morning. The area is also the port of Alacati, home to the famous Alacati Yacht Marina, designed by French architect Francois Spoerry and his son Yves Spoerry. There are many theories about the formation of Alacati's name. One ancient source calls it "Alaçatı", while another source calls it "Alaca At", which is used throughout the Red Horse region of Türkiye. "Alaca At" is based on a story that the city lord of Alaçat had a red horse. When riding, the people respectfully called him "Alacaatlı (Red Horse Man)". This name later became "Alaçatı" ”. There are also some claims that "Alaçatı" originated from a story about a strong wind that caused the laundry room to be blown away. Before the population exchange between Greece and Turkey, Muslim refugees from Greece settled here, and "Alaçatı" has been used in the town and port area since then. Alacati is built with stone houses, colorful windows, narrow streets and sidewalks, and an Ottoman house in the center that is over 100 years old. Alacati has been nominated by many windsurfing magazines and is the best choice for beginners to learn to windsurf because there is a shallow bay that makes beginners feel safe. Alaçatı Bay, known as one of the world's leading windsurfing destinations, has consistent and steady winds all year round. Alaçatı Windsurfing School meets international standards and provides materials for kayaking, kitesurfing, surfing and windsurfing. Novelist Michelle Culumduring captured inspiration here for her second novel, Alaçatili. It takes about an hour to drive from Izmir Airport or the city #urbanhumanitiesnotes

Your road trip in Turkey starts here! Rent a car at Izmir Airport and drive to Cesme. Turkey has right-hand traffic like China, so driving is easy. Pass by the Mediterranean town of Alacati, which has a history of over 150 years. The town is not crowded, but it is fresh and quiet. Flowers and plants, cats and dogs, historic stone houses, narrow but not dark streets, boutique B&Bs, and street-side tables. Walk through the warm sunlight in this cozy town and enjoy the exotic tranquility. Then drive on the wide road with the wind blowing, and you will feel very comfortable. Before you know it, you will arrive at the hotel you booked in Cesme at night. When you wake up in the morning, open the balcony door with a stunning color, and you will see the sunrise, the red dawn, the blue Aegean Sea, and the faintly visible Greece. A good start and a lucky choice!

Many people who travel to Turkey choose Istanbul and Cappadocia, and may know nothing about Izmir and not include it in their itinerary. In fact, there are many famous ruins here, as well as the beautiful Aegean Sea! Every alley in Izmir leads directly to the sea. Along the promenade of the bay, the blue sea, the bright sun, and the clear sky, the bay extends to the Aegean Sea. On the bench by the shore, someone is fishing leisurely. On the right, there is a long embankment extending into the sea. The classical yellow building at the top of the embankment is particularly eye-catching in the sun. The embankment has now been converted into many food streets, with many good restaurants and bars. It's worth a visit! What I like more is Cesme and Alacati, the twin stars of the Aegean Sea in Izmir. The two towns are only a quarter of an hour's drive apart. Alacati is a fairy tale town that looks more like Greece than Cesme. The houses in Alacati are different in shape and colorful. The corners of the streets and the walls are blooming bougainvillea. It seems to be walking in a children's watercolor painting. Every house or shop door, I have to stop and stay for a while, not willing to miss any details, the shape of the doors and windows, the tablecloth of the grid, the color matching of the sofa and pillows, even the small vase on the windowsill, everything is so pleasing to the eye, the beauty is pure, stylish and interesting. I even met a couple taking wedding photos here, bless them!
