Hotels in İzmir Province, Turkey
İzmir Province sits on Turkey's Aegean coast, famous for its ancient Greek ruins like Ephesus and the laid-back vibe of its seaside neighborhoods. The climate is Mediterranean: hot, dry summers (around 90°F/32°C) are perfect for windsurfing in the Çeşme Peninsula's crystal-clear bays, while mild winters (around 50°F/10°C) let you explore the 2,700-year-old agora in the city center without crowds. For a different scene, head to Alaçatı in spring for its annual Herb Festival and live Turkish folk music in stone taverns, or visit Şirince village for its fruit wine tastings and views of the surrounding olive groves.
