Izmir aka: Smyrna

The harbour is beautiful, the park is peaceful and relaxing. I saw the tallest palm trees down one street.

They sell ice cold nuts at little stands.

There are a lot of upscale hotels near the habour.

The cafes can seat 100 people.

they say: Izmir’s sea smells like girls, its girls smell like sea and its streets smell like both sea and girls ;))

My Hometown… Great City…

I found Izmir to be a small version of some of the more impressive Turkish cities. One day, while walking to a museum, I came upon a riot in a square – there were tons of police in full riot gear, it was pretty alarming!

The Izmir bazaar should not be missed if you are in town town.

i’ve been studying here for 4 years and i will really miss here when i graduate. it worth everything. The night life, the bay, the fair, Alsancak… words aren’t enough…

I`ve born and grown up in Izmir .

My father was in the US Army and stationed here in 1971-72, courtesy of NATO. I was 12 years old and in the seventh grade, and went to school in downtown Izmir. There was no formal base/post, so all facilities associated with the military (housing, commissary, hospital, recreation, etc.) was intermixed within and around the city. Since that was years ago, this arrangement might be different now. My family and I lived in an apartment on Atatürk Caddesi, a main road running the perimeter of the harbor, across from a restaurant built on a short pier over the beautiful waters edging on the Agean Sea. Muslims were the indiginous peoples, but the landscape was peppered with Christian history, to which they had a profound respect for. I thoroughly enjoyed living there, the adventure will forever standout in my mind’s eye, and would gladly take the opportunity to revisit the area if I could afford it.

my hometown!
