Izmir is a major part of the trade industry of Turkey and is also the third largest city of the country. Many travelers to Turkey make side visits to Izmir to witness regional sites such as Pamukkale, a mineral bath spa, and Kusadasi, a famous beach resort. Getting around Izmir is easy because taxis roam around the city, and some tourist spots are walking distances away from one another. Attractions include the Kemeralti Market, the Hisar Mosque, the Izmir Museum of History and Art, and the Saint Polycarp Church. If you enjoy history, then you will love the ancient ruins in the city.

Some of the major airlines that work with the Izmir Airport are British Airways, Germanwings, Hamburg International, Lufthansa, Pegasus Airlines, Onur Air, Cyprus Turkish Airlines, Sun Express, Turkish Airlines, and Taban Air. If you are traveling domestically, it is easy to book a direct flight to Izmir. If you are an international traveler, direct flights are available from the US and other European cities. Cheap flights are easiest to find during the off-peak season.
