Destination story
A place with its own rhythm.
İzmir, Türkiye’s third-largest city, curves around a wide Aegean bay. The famous Clock Tower on Konak Square, the seaside Kordon promenade and the historic Kemeraltı bazaar define the city, with Kadifekale hill offering views across the bay.
For WOFA participants, İzmir is an open, modern and music-loving city. Groups can perform for large audiences and visit some of the most important ancient sites of the Aegean, including Ephesus.
