Highlights
  • Izmir - Turkey’s Aegean shores are among the loveliest landscapes in the country. The magnificent coastline, lapped by the clear water of the Aegean Sea, abounds in vast and pristine beaches surrounded by olive groves, rocky crags and pine woods. Dotted with idyllic fishing harbours, popular holiday villages and the remains of ancient civilizations attesting to the inheritance of more than 5,000 years of history, culture and mythology, this region offers a holiday with something for everyone - nature lovers, sun worshippers, photographers, sports enthusiasts, sailors and archaeologists. Along the whole length of the coast, accommodation to suit every taste and price range can be found. Known in Turkish as “Beautiful Izmir”, the city lies at ‘the head of a long and narrow gulf furrowed by ships and yachts. The climate is mild and in the summer the constant and refreshing sea breezes temper the sun’s heat. The city, in horizontal terraces, gently ascends the slopes of the surrounding mountains.

The perfect private tour, customized just for you! - If you are looking for a private tour that is customized just for your individual wants, needs and enjoyment, this is the tour for you!!! First, there is nothing better than having both a guide and a driver at your disposal to see and experience exactly what you want, with little to no waiting in lines, no walking distances to get there, and no hassle getting picked back up again afterwards. This alone is worth the price of the tour, but it just gets better. Metin, our fabulous guide, arrived to meet us with a full agenda of the best places to go and things to see, which would more than satisfy those who want to see it all without any limitations. Because we were not so incline, we discussed our desires and personal limitations - like avoiding places requiring us to transverse several flights of stairs without rails, for example. We came up with a perfect, customized itinerary just for us. We even flexed on the fly - making additional changes as we went. This was fantastic! When we found we wanted to stay a little longer in one place - like shopping in the Bazar - we did. Not only did Metin translate for us, he calculated currency conversion as we discussed prices with the various shops. We added stops to sample local cuisine and had a fantastic lunch at a sidewalk cafe. We saw everything we wanted to see and did everything we wanted to do and all the while Metin enlightened us on local history, culture and customs. We had a blast, took treasured photos and finished on a high without being exhausted at the end! We could not recommend this tour too highly.
