Is Izmir Safe for Solo Female Travelers?

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.

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.

Izmir is an amazing City. I have stayed there for some time and enjoyed it very much. The food and hospitality are amazing. The weather mostly sunny and the sea nearby. I fell in love with Turkey. I can only recommend to visit.

Couple travel

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.

In general, except the dangerous suburbs, I can say Izmir is safe. Tourists and different cultures always welcomes. During the day, I think it’s completely safe, you can walk around in peace and explore the city. But after dark, especially after midnight, it’s better to prefer crowded places to stay safe.

Actually Izmir is safer than many cities, people are more sensitive and helpful, but the news I hear in the country and around the world scares me. That's why I try to be more careful. But as a woman, I hate feeling unsafe. I return home late at night in Izmir, but I feel uneasy.
