IZMIR: Ancient GREEK STATUES and JEWELRY, the ARCHAEOLOGY MUSEUM (TURKEY) ????️
SUBSCRIBE: - Let's go visit The Izmir Archeology Museum (Turkish: İzmir Arkeoloji Müzesi) which is an archeology museum in Izmir, Turkey and which contains a number of artifacts from around the Gulf of Izmir. Most of the artifacts, which include jewelry, busts, statues, statuettes, tools, and various eating and cooking utensils, come from the Bronze Age, or from the Greek and Roman periods.
Izmir is a city on Turkey’s Aegean coast. Known as Smyrna in antiquity, it was founded by the Greeks, taken over by the Romans and rebuilt by Alexander the Great before becoming part of the Ottoman Empire in the 15th century. Today, its expansive archaeological sites include the Roman Agora of Smyrna, now an open-air museum. The hilltop Kadifekale, or Velvet Castle, built during Alexander’s reign, overlooks the city.
Turkey is a nation straddling eastern Europe and western Asia with cultural connections to ancient Greek, Persian, Roman, Byzantine and Ottoman empires. Cosmopolitan Istanbul, on the Bosphorus Strait, is home to the iconic Hagia Sophia, with its soaring dome and Christian mosaics, the massive 17th-century Blue Mosque and the circa-1460 Topkapı Palace, former home of sultans. Ankara is Turkey’s modern capital.

Top Ten Places To Visit In Izmir Turkey
Top Ten Places To Visit In Izmir Turkey
10) Ephesus (Efeze)
Ephesus is an ancient greek city which is also known as Efeze. Being one of the world’s greatest cities in roman times, it was ranked as the second largest city in the world at that time. In Eastern Mediterranean, Ephesus is the best preserved ancient temple. It holds the temple of Artemis, that believed to be one of the seven wonders of the ancient world. Many people used to believe that Ephesus is the house of Mary, mother of Jesus. According to the Bible’s book of revelation, Ephesus is listed as the 7th church of asia. There are many magnificent sites including Library of Celsus, the Cave of the Seven Sleepers, a theater, Church of Mary, House of the Virgin, the Isabey Mosque, Basilica of St. John and the Temple of Hadrian
9) Şirince
Are you a wine lover? If your answer is yes, you must not skip your visit to Sirince because if you do, you’ll probably miss the best quality of wines in the world. A few minutes away from the Sirince there is a small turkish village famed for its fine-looking white houses and for the making of fruit wine. You can purchase different wines from the shops around the Turkey. The entrance to this area is free and as you walk around the streets, you might be indulging with too many free glasses of wine to try. Since Sirince is very close to Ephesus, it is suggested to see both these places on the same day trip.
8) Izmir Clock Tower
Izmir Clock Tower is a historic clock tower, also called Saat Kulesi is located at the Konak Square in the center of Izmir. It was built by a French architect in 1901 to honor the 25th anniversary of Abdülhamid II’s succession to the throne.

It is 82 feet long and decorated in such a unique traditional style which attracts a lot of tourists from all around the globe.
7) Asansör
If you went to tour Izmir Clock Tower then you shouldn’t be forgetting to see this place by a 20-minute walk from the tower. You can find Asanor by walking through the seaside from the Konak Sqaure. Asansor was basically constructed in 1907 as a work of public service that used to be an elevator in order to ease passage from the summits of the cliff to the coastline of Karatas. At the top of the Asansor, there is a famous café of Izmir that provides lots of eatables and drinks that you may enjoy while your stay.
6) Kadifekale
Kadifekale is also known as the Velvet Castle that lies between the mountains of the city of Izmir. Being associated with the ancient Greek city Symrna, it inclines opposite to the sea around the 3rd century BC. From a quite distance, you can see the Turkish flag on the top of the castle walls of the Kadifekale. Kadifekale comes into sight of both fort and the castle. As from the top of the tower, it gives an amazing clear view of the city and the Gulf of Izmir.
5) Key Museum

The museum hosted exhibitions of more than 130 automobiles from the first automobile that was made in 1800.

But Showcase’s Aadel Haleem went to the museum and found out that this space has also been the launchpad for the careers of many emerging artists.

Showcase: Jewish Museum of Turkey
Something happens the moment you step into Istanbul's Jewish Museum of Turkey. The world outside seems to stop… and time somehow becomes irrelevant. You could say it's like being in your aunt Esther's attic… with unlimited access to the family's treasure chest.
My family has a 500-year history in Turkey
Odin Ozdil is part of a family who has a history in Turkey which reaches back hundreds of years. Unfortunately, relations in Turkey have been deteriorating with its Jewish population for some time now. As a result, many people in the region are becoming less open about sharing the fact that they’re Jewish. Despite the fact that thousands of Jewish residents have fled Turkey, Odin remains optimistic regarding the potential that things could improve in the future. Hear more about Odin’s story in this film by The Mizrahi Project, presented by Christians United for Israel (CUFI).

Expo 2020 İzmir Presentation Film 16 minutes)
EXPO 2020 İZMİR
Imagine a land surrounded by the ancient seas of the world... A peninsula straddling two continents in the East and West... A passage uniting North and South...
Motherland to 36 known civilizations including Hittites, Phrygians, Lydians, Trojans, Romans, Byzantines, Seljuks and Ottomans... A center of innovation since time immemorial... The first international treaty to be signed, the first coins to change hands, the first temple to be worshipped in, and the first hospital to cure a patient all originated in this region. Trade, through the silk and spice roads left its mark on this land.
It was a birthplace for Abraham, a sanctuary for early Christians and a home to Rumi, the Sufi mystic.
Turkey...
Born as a democratic, secular and constitutional republic under the leadership of Atatürk, modern Turkey was founded on values ahead of its time. Women gained the right to vote and to be elected to government in 1934, many years before it was a common practice in the West. In less than a century, Turkey has given rise to many influential artists, musicians, writers, poets, directors, scholars, scientists and athletes.
It has a young population of 74 million people, 60% of which are below the age of 35. The people of Turkey are well-educated and highly skilled, giving the country great prospects in terms of its future economic development. As of the first half of 2011, Turkey is the 16th largest economy in the world and 6th largest in Europe with a rapid development rate of 9%. According to UN's World Investment Report, Turkey is one of the top 15 destinations for foreign direct investment. OECD estimates that Turkey will be among the top 10 biggest economies in the world by 2020.
As a well-established and continuously growing industry, tourism plays a vital role in the economic development. The geography and history of the country create a wide spectrum of activities and experiences.
In the western extremity of Turkey, where the Silk Road meets the Aegean, lies the western port of Anatolia, a cultural capital and a trade center that dates back 8,500 years... Herodotus claimed that It has the best climate and the most beautiful sky in the world. Victor Hugo called it A princess. This is İzmir.
In the 5th century BC, Darius the Great built the famous 2700 kilometer long Persian Royal Road to reach this city. The temple built in 356 BC for the goddess Artemis, became one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World. Saint John wrote one of the four gospels of Christianity in Ayasuluk Hill. In 135 AD, the son of Celsus, built a library consisting of over 12,000 scrolls, and named it for his father, a scholarly governor known for his passion for knowledge, science and arts. The most important healing center of the 4th century BC, named after the ancient god of medicine and healing, Asclepius, was built here in Pergamon. The fame of İzmir's thermals, hot water mud baths and mineral springs date back to 5th century BC. King Agamemnon used them to treat his wounded soldiers. Today, these thermal centers are popular destinations not only for those in search of better health, but for anyone who wants to be pampered.
Nature lovers flock to İzmir, which is home to the globally renowned Bird Paradise, a national park with striking biodiversity. The Gediz Delta is considered as one of the world's most remarkable natural areas, an open-air museum with breathtaking landscapes
With exquisite beaches and natural bays covering a coastal belt of more than 600 kilometers around Çeşme, Alaçatı and Foça, İzmir fascinates sailing enthusiasts as well as international cruise ships. Alaçatı has excellent atmospheric conditions attracting windsurfers from all over the world. Contained along these coasts are many Blue-Flag beaches, a testament to İzmir's commitment to protecting the natural environment.
The city is a major tourist destination hosting many international hotel chains. Developments are underway to increase İzmir's ability to accomodate tourists by more than eightfold in 2020. Situated between Europe, Asia and the Middle East, the Aegean region is equipped with a network of international-quality highways and the nation's largest railway network.
Istanbul Archaeology Museum | Exhibitions | Showcase
The Istanbul Archeological Museums are home to more than a million of Turkey's historical objects. But the three buildings that house the collections fell into despair, and are getting a makeover. The main building recently re-opened to the public and Aadel Haleem got a chance to check it out.

4. Perge
This ancient city is also known as Perga, and it was once a grand city that served as the capital of Pamphylia Secunda, which is located on what is now the southwestern Mediterranean coast of Turkey near the city of Antalya. There’s an acropolis here that dates back to the Bronze Age, and there are many large ruins located in the area that visitors can see today. The city changed hands numerous times throughout the years, but the Romans, who took control of the city in 188 B.C., built most of the structures still seen today. These include ruins of a necropolis, a gymnasium, a public square, Roman baths, churches, temples, and even a theatre which could once hold around 15,000 people. There have also been many incredible sculptures discovered here, and beginning in 2003, many priceless mosaics were located around the city. The discoveries of the mosaics have led to the city being coined “Turkey’s second Zeugma,” with Zeugma being another famous site in Turkey where incredible mosaics have been found.
3. Hattusa
Hattusa was once the great capital city of the Hittite Empire, which can be found near what is Bogazkale, Turkey today. The city is one of the greatest and most important ruins of Turkey; thus, it has been a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1986. The site was first settled around the sixth millennium B.C., and it became a trading post for some time. That is until the area was claimed by a Hittite-speaking king, who decided that it would make the perfect location for his home, and capital for the empire. The king changed the city’s name from Hattush to Hattusa, and he, himself, adopted the name Hattusili. At the height of the city, it covered nearly 0.7 square miles, and great walls surrounded it. There was an inner city and an outer city, both of which served different purposes, and many different types of structures and historical features can be seen in each today. The Hittite state and the city were destroyed around the same time as the Bronze Age collapsed—around 1200 B.C. The city was discovered in 1834 by Charles Texier, a French archaeologist, and one of the most important discoveries made there, the Bogazkoy Archive, shed much information on the lifestyle, laws, and thinking of the times.
2. Ephesus
This ancient Greek city was built on what was once the capital of Arzawa, a political entity, and a region located just 1.8 miles from what is now Selcuk in Turkey’s Izmir Province today. Ionian and Attic Greek colonists built the city during the 10th century B.C., and at one point was part of the Ionian League. Once the Roman Republic took control of Ephesus in 129 B.C., the city really flourished, and it gained a decent amount of fame from being so close to one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World, the Temple of Artemis. Ephesus could have been where the Gospel of John was written, as it was one of the seven churches of Asia named in the Book of Revelation. It very recently became a UNESCO World Heritage Site—in 2015—and it’s the most complete Greco-Roman classical city on the planet as of now. Some of the main sites at Ephesus are the Temple of Artemis, the Library of Celsus, a theater with a seating capacity of 25,000, two agoras, a few bathhouses, and several temples.

İzmir Travel Guide - Turkey Amazing Atmosphere
İzmir Travel Guide - Turkey Amazing Atmosphere
Izmir is the third largest city in Turkey with a population of around 4 million, the second biggest port after Istanbul, and a very good transport hub. The fact that almost half of its population of 4 million are under the age of 30, makes İzmir a city full of life. The city hosts tens of thousands of university students, educates scientists, artists, business leaders and academics. It is a rapidly growing city on the Central Aegean coast of Turkey.
Once the ancient city of Smyrna, İzmir is now a modern, developed, and busy commercial center, set around a huge bay and surrounded by mountains. The broad boulevards, glass-fronted buildings and modern shopping centers are dotted with traditional red-tiled roofs, the 18th century market, and old mosques and churches, although the city has an atmosphere more of Mediterranean Europe than traditional Turkey.
İzmir owes its position as an economically and socially dynamic city to its location, climate and the fact that it has been a home to many different cultures and religions. Persians, Ancient Greeks, Assyrians, Romans, Byzantines and Ottomans are just a few of the dozens of different civilizations that the city has hosted throughout its long history.
Due to its geographical location, similar climatic features are observed in almost every part of the province. Since the average number of sunny days reaches up to almost 300 a year, the solar potential is very high in İzmir.
Public ferries are easy, fast inside the coast and gives a nice shot of Izmir. Preferable to every other transportation in nice weather. Popular routes include; Konak-Karsiyaka, Alsancak-Karsiyaka, Konak-Bostanli and Karsiyaka-Goztepe. There is an extensive public bus system which covers all of the city. Many taxis with reasonable price. There is also a metro line connecting city centre/Konak Square with the northeastern suburb of Bornova.
Izmir is a member of World Gourmet Cities Network (DELICE), a network with 22 cities from different parts of the world. Became a member in 2015, Izmir is the 23rd city in the network. In Izmir there are many hotels which are suitable for all tastes and budgets. Hilton, Swissotel and Movenpick are just a few minutes away by foot from Cumhuriyet Meydani (Republic Square) Hotel Ibis is very close to the city center, located nearby Alsancak Railway Station. Also there is Crowne Plaza, which is about 30 min. from center.
Standing on Mount Yamanlar, the tomb of Tantalus was excavated by Charles Texier in 1835 and is an example of the historic traces in the region prior to the Hellenistic Age, along with those found in nearby Kemalpaşa and Mount Sipylus. The Agora of Smyrna is well preserved, and is arranged into the Agora Open Air Museum of İzmir, although important parts buried under modern buildings wait to be brought to light. Serious consideration is also being given to uncovering the ancient theatre of Smyrna where St. Polycarp was martyred, buried under an urban zone on the slopes of Kadifekale.
One of the more pronounced elements of İzmir's harbor is the Clock Tower, a marble tower in the middle of the Konak district, standing 25 m (82 ft) in height. It was designed by Levantine French architect Raymond Charles Père in 1901 to commemorate the 25th anniversary of the ascension of Abdülhamid II to the Ottoman throne in 1876. The clock's workings were given as a gift by the German Kaiser Wilhelm II, a political ally of Abdülhamid II.

First Day in Pamukkale Turkey
Pamukkale is about 50 mins flight from Istanbul. We took the Pegasus flight which cost us USD 55 (returning flight) each with 20kg baggage allowance.
We visited the place called the Aphrodisias Museum, located in Geyre, Karacasu/Aydin, Turkey. They're open every day from 8:30am- 19:00, we paid 24 Turkish Lira each (USD 4.08)
You can see Prehistoric artefacts dating back to 5000 B.C and the Bronze Age found in excavations on the Acropolis hill and Pekmeztepe hill, Lydia ceramics found in these hills and Archaic, Classic and Hellenistic Period objects found in the ruins of the Temple of Aphrodite are all exhibited in the museum. Tombs and statues made by the sculpture school of the time and the cult statue of Aphrodisias Aphrodite can be seen at the museum as well.
After that, we travel another 57 mins drive to Kaklik Cave in Denizli Turkey.
Entrance fee is free.
Kaklik cave, known as Kaklik Mağarası or the Pamukkale cave is located about 45 kilometres from the real Pamukkale. The cave is full of travertine waters, stalagmites, stalactites and a large quantity of sulphur. The amount of sulphur makes the cave quite odorous.
The cave was formed over 2.5 million years ago, during the Pliocene Period. The roof collapsed, allowing entrance. The maximum depth is 14 metres and inside there are several rimstone pools and waterfalls, which are thought to be beneficial in the treatment of skin diseases and arthritis. Several of the walls receive enough sunlight to grow moss and climbing plants. The cave will take around 30 minutes to explore, with wooden walkways leading through the 190-metre circle.
