The city of Izmir is one of the places in Turkey most visited by tourists because it is a frequent port of call for cruise ships. As an active Mediterranean port that has been ruled by Greeks, Romans and medieval Genoa before becoming part of the Ottoman Empire, Izmir has always been open to European influences. This is therefore one of the places in Turkey where ancient Asian and Anatolian traditions and modern European influences have met most strikingly.
