About Izmir
Izmir pairs a big, liberal seafront city with the Aegean's best day trips — Ephesus, Şirince and the Çeşme peninsula's beaches are all within easy reach. Direct UK service is newer and more seasonal than Dalaman or Bodrum; outside the summer schedule most itineraries connect via Istanbul, so compare both before booking.
