It's a bit strange to write a skiing tip for Izmir as the city is related with sun rather than snow, or with summer rather than winter. However, if you are in Izmir between December and March and if you are really desperate to go skiing, there is a place, actually a mountain 130 km away from the center of Izmir: Bozdag.

Great place to dive with either in the bay or up the coast near Cesme.Equipment and standards very high obviously as it's a 5 star IDC centre.
Last year became a National Geographic dive centre as well,so big on the enviroment.
If you haven't got something the shop is packed full of everything you should need.
Emphasis on mixed gas diving.
They have almost everything.

Izmir has three main football clubs Goztepe and Karsiyaka are known to be the two rivals of the city and Altay is also a succesfull football team..
Izmir teams are not so succesfull in the Turkish league on the recent years. There is no team from Izmir in the first division..
However Fenerbahce, Istanbuls most favourite club, was in Izmir due to its fine and Ataturk stadium has shown its respect to Fenerbahce in Izmir also.. Thanks for all 70,000 supporters of Fenerbahce in and around Izmir.. Leave a Comment Theme: Other
