The Aegean coast is a beautiful procession of golden wheat fields, fig and olive orchards, fishing villages and holiday
resort towns. Assos (Behramkale) is an out - of - the - way village built on an ancient city. Assos was founded in the
8th century BC by colonists from Lesbos. Aristotle stayed here for three years, and St.Paul visited briefly.
Ayvalik is a pleasant fishing and resort town with good beaches, good seafood restaurants and beautiful panoramas of pine
forest and Aegean islands. At Bergama, the ancient Pergamum, you should see the impressive ruins of the Acropolis and the
Asclepion, an early medical centre. Many visitors make their base in Izmir and go north to Bergama or east to Sardis for
the day. The Aegean Region of Türkiye is the place where Bodrum, which is the birthplace of the Heredotus, "father
of history", and " the place which has the most beautiful sky and most perfect climate on earth", is. There
you will find the country's most impressive beaches, spread between rocky shores, and the unique "Turquoise" of
Turkish waters. The undiscovered quiet coves and bays are real challenges for underwater divers. There is so much to be
found in this region in addition to its coastline. You will be welcomed by the heritage of history and mythology with
every step you take. See Ephesus and Aphrodisias, two of the major sightseeing attractions of the world. Offering all the
wonders of nature, the Aegean region stands in a perfect location for all kinds of holiday opportunities covering every
kind of interest. There are places both on the coast and inland suitable for those who prefer to get away from the stress
of city - life. On the other hand, for those who prefer a holiday full of action, most of the cities on the coast offer
good choices; Cesme, Bodrum and Marmaris are recommended for an active nightlife. The climate favors you in the Aegean
Region, whenever you come. In general it is warm from April to October. The temperature reaches 28 °C - 30 °C in middle
of the season and it is of course great for a beach and water sports holidays. The sightseers may prefer the cooler early
spring and late autumn. The coastal areas are considerably rainy during the winter, while inland, it is colder and snowy
on the higher areas. If you want to have a little of all these, then Izmir, the third biggest city of Türkiye should be
your base for a touring holiday in the Aegean Region, as it provides easy access to all historical places, thermal and
coastal resorts.
