Izmir
3 things to see
Izmir is Turkey’s third city on the Aegean coast, where everyday costs run well below Istanbul. Walking the Kordon seafront promenade at sunset costs nothing, and wandering the sprawling Kemeralti bazaar is free unless you stop to buy. The city also works as a budget base for a day trip to the ancient ruins of Ephesus. Spring and autumn bring warm Aegean weather without the summer heat or peak prices.
