Is Izmir Safe for Solo Female Travelers?

Couple travel experience

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.

I believe, Izmir is the one of the safest cities in Turkey. In the past I was feeling safer when I walked around in my city but nowadays things are changing in a bad way. However, I think Izmir is still safe for solo female travelers and also people are so friendly and helpful. If something happens to you, you can ask for help from local people and stores and they will help you no matter what!

İzmir is generally known to be safer compared to bigger cities like İstanbul, however, it's still a big city so you should be careful especially at night. There wouldn't be a problem with walking alone at night in touristic places where there are lots of people, but I wouldn't recommend it in other residential areas. Çeşme, Foça, and Urla are great for vacation spots.

Solo travel experience

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.
