These are run by dedicated Consuls with at least one activity each month, such as dinners in Izmir’s finest restaurants or outings with other expats to explore all that the third-largest Turkish city has to offer, from Kemeraltı, a historical market district which remains one of the liveliest parts of İzmir, to the open-air museum with Smyrna’s well-preserved agora, and much more.
