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.

Turkey
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 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.

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!

A gentle soul with a light heart.. I am a very sociable but balanced type of person, which helps me show my deepest respects to people who have hosted me in their houses, campsites, hotels and hostels. I have been doing solo travels and camps since 2020 in my country and met a lot of incredible people on my journey. I am in love with nature and anything natural is what I prefer first. I am into philosophy, religions, food, natural wonders, occultism and many other things... I am a talkative person as long as the person wants to maintain the conversation :) I live in Turkey and would love to host back my future hosts in Izmir, if they've come to visit here :) I live with my 4 year-old lovely and crazy-ass cat, you can check out our photos :) Hope to meet you soon,
Izmir is generally safe for women, but stick to well-lit, populated areas at night and avoid deserted streets. Public transportation is safe, but be mindful of your belongings. Safest Areas: - **Alsancak**: Trendy and lively, with lots of cafes and shops. - **Kordon**: Popular waterfront area, great for walking and dining.
Posted: September 3, 2024Izmir is one of the most beautiful cities in Turkey. Also, I think it is one of the safest cities in Turkey for women. There are many beautiful coasts and beaches outside the center. It is full of natural beauty. The most beautiful places to visit are generally a little outside the city center, but there are also nice things to do in the city center.

Hey, I’m Gaby! I’m 25yo and wanting to see most of the world and learn all languages at the same time (but failing in most 😂), I work in marketing so I’m basically the stereotype of that: communicative and friendly, never afraid to do anything by myself if I want I to and no one wants to come together. It will be nice to meet you!
