Plan a Day Trip by Car Rental from Izmir Airport

Çesme District

The delicious fruits and vegetables grown in Izmir and the unique dishes the city is known for should definitely be a part of any tour of Izmir by 7 seater car rental, but on a visit to one district in particular you can try a very special sandwich.  The Kumru is Izmir's signature sandwich.  Favorite of this lovely district on the water, the Kumru features sucuk with a base of cheese and tomato.  Other flavors of Izmir you won't want to miss include sweetened rice with saffron called aerde; tarhana soup, which is made from dried yoghurt and tomatoes, or the popular boiled wheat with meat called köfte keskek.

Karatas

The Karatas area has several unique features that make for a full day trip in Izmir by 7 seater car rental.  Climb the Asansör (literally meaning "the elevator"), an inventive way to reach the elevated area of Izmir that is separated from the coastal strait by a steep cliff.  Karatas is also the traditional Jewish quarter of the city and it features several historic synagogues, including Izmir's largest synagogue, the Beth Israel.

Ancient Smyrna

Plan a day trip in Izmir to the Agora Open Air Museum to see the remains of the ancient city Agora of Smyrna.  The museum preserves several different ancient structures which where constructed during the Hellenistic era.  Visit the ancient shopping centre, see the northern basilica gate and the many columns of agora.
