IZMIR

The city of Izmir is composed of several metropolitan districts. Of these, Konak district corresponds to historical Izmir, this district’s area having constituted the “Izmir Municipality” area until 1984, Konak un-til then having been a name for a central neighborhood around Konak Square, still the core of the city. With the consti-tution of the “Greater Izmir Metropolitan Municipality”, the city of Izmir became a compound bringing together initially nine, and since recently eleven metropoli-tan districts, namely Balçova, Bayraklı, Bornova, Buca, Çiğli, Gaziemir, Güzel-bahçe, Karabağlar, Karşıyaka, Konak and Narlıdere. Almost each of these settlements are former district centers or neighborhoods which stood on their own and with their own distinct features and temperament.According to the Turkish Statistical Insti-tute, as of 2011 the city of Izmir had a population of 2,783,866 and its metro-politan municipality 3,366,947

HOW TOGET TO

I ZMIR

AirThe Adnan Menderes International Air-port is well served with connections to Turkish and international destinations. The city-to-airport shuttle buses are op-erated by the private company Havaş which run on two lines; the first connect-ing Karşıyaka (in the city’s northern part) and the second connecting Alsancak (in the south) with the airport.Trains remain a comparatively slow alter-native, while the metro line that will reach the airport is under construction. The taxis are not cheap and can cost up to fifty U.S. dollars to the school.A body known as UKOME gives strate-gic direction to the Metro, the ESHOT bus division, ferry operations, utilities and road developments. İzmir has an integrat-ed pre-pay ticket, the Kentkart (Citycard). The card is valid on metro (subway), buses, ferries and certain other municipal facilities. The Kentkart allows use of mul-tiple forms of transport within a 90 minute window for the price of a single fare.

BusAll major districts are covered by a dense municipal bus network under the name ESHOT. These scheduled services are supplemented by the privately-owned minibus or dolmus services.

Urban ferry services24 ferries shuttle between 8 quays (clock-wise Bostanlı, Karşıyaka, Bayraklı, Al-sancak, Pasaport, Konak, Göztepe and Üçkuyular). Special lines to points further out in the gulf are also put in service dur-ing summer, transporting excursion or holiday makers. These services are sur-prisingly cheap and it is not unusual to see natives or visitors taking a ferry ride simply as a pastime.

İzmir Metroİzmir has a subway network that is con-stantly being extended with new stations being put in service. The network “İzmir Metrosu”, consisting of one line, starts from the Üçyol station in Hatay and to end in Bornova.
