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.

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.

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.

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
Posted: May 24, 2025I 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
