About Izmir
The Turkish city of Izmir nowadays is considered, probably, one of the most ancient cities in the whole country, which is even included in the list of seven most ancient and historically important cities of Turkey. The city is situated on the Eastern coast of the Aegean Sea and is considered the secnd most important and the third largest city in the whole Turkey, which is also considered the largest business center of the country and the exact place where the remarkable Izmir Fair is annually held.
The city was almost completely destroyed back in 1922 and then newly reconstructed and, since then, it has developed and changed quite a lot. Nowadays the city of Izmir represents an absolutely vivid and instantly developing modern city, which looks more like a dynamic European city than like an Eastern megapolis. The spots of its ancient past may be quite easily found even in the tiniest corners of the city and its Eastern uniqueness may be easily seen just all over its cozy narrow streets, tiny Turkish stores and large vivid markets with the most varied scents, colors and goods.
