Language courses in Izmir
In Izmir on the Turkish Aegean coast you come to the rendezvous with at least 3000 years of history in the area of tension between east and west, from the time when the Greeks founded a colony here. A lot has happened since then. Embark on a journey from the Iron Age through Greek and Roman antiquity, the Byzantine era and finally into the world of the legendary Ottoman Empire, and finally the Italian intermezzo at the beginning of the 20th century. However, Izmir was not always called Izmir, but over the course of time Over the centuries there were also other names such as Smyrna or Tismurna and others.
The city of Izmir lies in a bay. You can easily get from one part of the city to another by ferry. On the ferry, guests are served freshly squeezed orange juice or Turkish tea. The view while driving is fabulous – you can see the beautiful mountain landscape and the sea.
