Hi! My name is Arya, and I've been living in Izmir for a decade now! Although I'm Turkish, I used to live in the US so you will find conversing with me rather easy compared to other guides! I'm very outgoing, love to meet new people, love showing tourists around and introducing them to my culture! Book a tour with me for unforgettable legends, culture and more! Nice to make your acquaintance! ☀️

Tour description

Step into a city that has captivated empires for over 3,000 years. The Aegean Echoes Tour is a 3-hour journey through Türkiye’s vibrant coastal gem — Izmir. Perfect for groups and delegations, this premium walking tour reveals the city’s cultural, historical, and natural charm.

We begin at Karaca Cinema, a cornerstone of Izmir’s art scene, then stroll through lively Alsancak — Sevgi Yolu (Love Road) and Kıbrıs Şehitleri Street, where history and energy meet.

Next, we head toward the sea to visit Cumhuriyet Square, symbol of Izmir’s independence, and The Kordon, the city’s scenic waterfront dating back to the 1850s. Relax by the sea, watch the nostalgic tram, and soak in the city’s spirit.

Enjoy a flavorful break with local favorites — Gevrek, Boyoz, and the famous Kumru sandwich — followed by mezes and other coastal delicacies.

Join us for this unforgettable Izmir experience filled with history, legends, street life, and plenty of cats!
