ABOUT IZMIR

İzmir – The Pearl of the Aegean

Located on the beautiful Aegean coast of Türkiye, İzmir is a vibrant city where thousands of years of history blend seamlessly with contemporary Mediterranean life. As one of the Mediterranean’s historic port cities, İzmir has long been a meeting point for different cultures, traditions and ideas, shaping the open and distinctive character that defines the city today.

With its long coastline, lively waterfront promenades, historic neighborhoods and relaxed atmosphere, İzmir offers visitors much more than a congress destination. From the iconic Clock Tower and the colorful streets of Kemeraltı to the seaside life of Kordon, the city invites visitors to experience its history and everyday culture side by side.

İzmir is also surrounded by an extraordinary cultural and natural heritage. The province is home to the UNESCO World Heritage Sites of Ephesus and Pergamon, while charming Aegean towns, beautiful beaches and archaeological sites offer countless opportunities to explore beyond the city center.

The city's character is also reflected in its cuisine, shaped by the fertile lands and culinary traditions of the Aegean. Local flavors, fresh herbs, olive oil–based dishes and İzmir's distinctive street food complement the city's warm and relaxed lifestyle.

Combining history, culture, gastronomy and the spirit of the Aegean, İzmir offers congress participants an inspiring setting to discover before, during and after the meeting.
