I unfortunately lost all my photos, but I remember that it was a quiet and very friendly place. The locals were very warm. The meals were splendid and very exotic for the time.

We first went there by train and then get to the metro to reach the center. We grabbed a coffee and visit İzmir’s boulderhall so show my friend how to belay. Then we get into a bus to go to the village where the climbing zone is also located. Locals were really helpful to give us directions and information. The bus drivers even helped us to carry our gears. When we reach the village, everybody was cheerful and helped us a lot. But the the weather was really hot that is why we wanted to arrange a place to stay and hopefully go to sea. Everywhere was so expensive. But then we found a really cheap place in center by Airbnb. Our hosts was incredible. They were really cheerful and dull of stories. We went to a sea altogether next day and another friend of mine joined us. We could not enjoy the nightlife but my female friends often go out late at night and party until morning. They stay in Buca and the clubs are near to their houses. I think İzmir Buca is the safest place to party and night out in Turkey but It is still important to take precaution and don’t drink too much :D. I can comfortable say that you can visit İzmir and have fun as much as you do. I went there with my male friend that’s why I said couple.

İzmir is overall a safe city especially comparing to other cities of Turkey. I wouldn’t say you would be in danger when you come here, but you have to know where you visit and what time. I think this goes without saying, but don’t trust anyone go with your instincts and if someone seems suspicious, stay away from them. but if you take care of yourself and be cautious, you would be safe in and it is a really beautiful city to come and travel.

İzmir is totally safe to travel and party. There are some situations and places that might be problematic. But as long as the traveler sticks to common areas, it will be totally fine. Most trustworthy places are Bostanlı, Bornova, Karşıyaka, Göztepe, Alsancak. Also most near counties are pretty safe and fun to visit.
