Is Izmir Safe for Women? Crime Rate in Izmir

overall izmir is a safe city compared to other cities in turkey however, due to all the news we hear on daily basis around the world i am pretty worried and scared of them all. I wouldnt suggest walking on the street after 11.30pm and in a back alley after dark. Not that something is gonna happen but its better to be safe than sorry

I believe that even though Turkey might not be the safest country to live Izmir is not like that this city is quite safe for women and staying out for the entire night didn't create any problems in past for me

everywhere in the world you cant feel %100 safe but our ppl wont shut their eyes if you are in danger. in my city people are kind and helpful rest of the turkey too of course but izmir hits different

İzmir is one of the safest cities of Türkiye.you should keep away from certain areas as everywhere innthe world after a certain time at night İn izmir solo females would be comfortable at most of the neighborhoods with of course common sense

Izmir is the 3rd biggest city of Turkey (with the population of 6 million) and like every other huge city it’s not completely safe. As a tourist you can get scammed by taxi drivers, they can change the route without you noticing and charge you more than they should. Places like Bornova, Bostanlı are safe for women. For Konak and Karşıyaka, it depends on which part of the district you’re in. For example i wouldn’t recommend hanging around Basmane and Kadifekale… Compared to other cities in Turkey, Izmir is more Queer friendly but obviously it’s not the best since it’s still in Turkey D: but when i’m walking on the street i can clearly tell who would cause me trouble and who wouldn’t but maybe it’s because i’m a local. Other than that you should definitely visit my city

The central areas of Izmir are safe. Locations should be researched well before staying. Places like Bornkva, Karşıyaka, Alsancak are both close in terms of transportation and safer. Some places can be unsafe at night. I recommend staying in a more central location. Femicide is high in our country. Izmir is a little safer than other cities.

Family travel

I went to İzmir with my family last summer and it was amazing. I visited for the first time. They camped at a camping site around two weeks (I joined them for the remaining 4 days). If you come to İzmir you shouldn’t leave without visiting Ephesus Ruins. I would recommend visiting at night because it’s so hot during day and it looks even more breathtaking with the lightnings at night.

Solo travel

I was there camping and had to tell you that I left my heart in Izmir when I came back to the İstanbul🥹. The food, sea, and people, and every second I spent there was a magnificent memory for me. I am thinking about going to Izmir this summer again if I have my chance.
