Izmir Airport

If you travel from Greece, there is no direct connection to Izmir. So the most frequent flight is to Istanbul and Istanbul - Izmir. The ticket for an around trip , Athens - Istanbul - Izmir costs about 440 euro.

    Greece - Cesme - Izmir
  • Tip Rating:
  • If you want to travel from Greece Its is quite easy to reach Izmir from the port of Chios island to Cesme port (turkish) ,In summertime there are ferries, twice per day, and in winter time 2 - 3 days a week. Izmir is 80 km from Cesme, almost 1 hour by car, or taxi. But there many buses, every 1 hour in summertime, which they stop at the central bus station in Izmir.

    From Bodrum to Izmir
  • Tip Rating:
  • The otogar in Bodrum is in the city. To come there from the harbour you walk 400 m – 500 m up along Cevat Sakir Caddesi. At the otogar there are many bus-company offices and you can without hassle visit several to compare prices and timetable. I can’t remember which company I bought the ticket from, but to Izmir from Bodrum it was 16 000 000 TL and it took 3,5 hours. The company had free service from Izmir otogar to different places around the city.

    by bus to Izmir
  • Tip Rating:
  • Turkey has an excellent bus network so you can easily reach IZMIR from many other cities across the mainland. The bus station is 7km away from the city in a huge building. You can go there by taxi (around 15 TL to the center) but every company has free mini shuttle buses for the city every 30’. You just show your bus ticket. I was surprised of how many bus companies there are there. Unfortunatelly there isn’t any central Info point so you have to ask for timetables and prices in each one. The companies have more or less the same prices but not the same services. My favorite company is Pamukalle, an excellent company with modern buses, polite stuff, free tea/coffee and biscuits (!) for journeys that last more than 3 hours! Bodrum-Izmir costs 20 TL (12euro) and takes 4 hours Marmaris-Izmir costs 22TL (13 euro) and takes 4,5 hours
