Izmir - Top 10 travel destinations in Turkey

Izmir in Turkey is a great sight for tourists to behold. Its Archaeology Museum or Arkeoloji Müzesi welcomes visitors as it features a striking array of Roman and ancient artifacts that were recovered from several area excavations. There is also a display of ceramics, pottery and glass in addition to other wonderful objects. Asansör is another attraction in this city. This quarter was named after the nineteenth century passenger lift or elevator that was set up in order to have access between the lower level and upper level of this hilly area. The Clock Tower or Saat Kulesi has become the city’s symbol. Travelers would admire its late Ottoman Moorish design and impressive height of more than eighty feet. This clock tower was given to Izmir during 1901 by Sultan Abdülhamid. The Ethnography Museum or Etnografya Müzesi is a lovely ancient mansion that was formerly used as a hospital. The most impressive draws here are the replica of rooms from the Ottoman residences such as a circumcision room and a bridal chamber. Shopping enthusiasts would love the Kizlaragasi Han Bazaar. The prices in this bazaar are extremely low.
