Taxis are double fare from airport to center! It's not illegal and they say because of the distance. When i fly to Izmır i dont get a taxi to go to center. there is a shuttle service called "HAVAS". You can see busses easily and get on without doubt. it will take to Airport-Efes Hotel(close to Hilton)-karsiyaka. The ticket was 8 YTL March 2005.

Overall, this is a pretty safe city and the people of Izmir are very friendly and helpful. You still should be careful, of course. Particularly in the Bazaar area where little kids will come up to you trying to get you to buy something and then snag something from your pocket.

Basmane is not the best place at night. I think Izmir is a safe place, but be careful if you are alone on your experience. Leave a Comment

...is now a new concept for me... NEVER before had I experienced so aggressive drivers that do not know how to control their vehicles... incredible! I am happy we survived without even a scratch, but it was a miracle... Leave a Comment

When in Izmir, you will see many cats roaming around, as well as dogs who enjoy sleeping everywhere and anywhere. For the most part, these are not domesticated animals, and they may only run away from you. But if you corner one, it may bite and/or scratch the hell out of you and give you some pain and discomfort. Also, the fleas on these animals could carry any number of diseases.

It's unfortunate, but there are some people in Turkey who may be out to scam you. After I returned to the states, I found there was a withdrawal from my debit card in a city in Turkey that I never even visited. Fortunately, I was able to recover the funds. I am not sure exactly how this happened. It may have been a Turkish guy who helped me get an airline ticket, or it might have been because of an ATM machine that had been rigged to steal ATM card passwords, etc. Leave a Comment

Beware of anyone volunteering to play tour guide for you, who then ushers you into a carpet store--it's a scam. Don't drink the tap water; even the locals buy bottled water. Beware of traffic; it can make New York look tame. Leave a Comment
