The Izmir Cultural Center hosts opera and
ballet performances as well as musical
concerts. The city is home to the Aegean
Philharmonic Orchestra and boasts a
thriving theatrical community. |
For many years Izmir has enjoyed a
reputation as a cosmopolitan city of
culture. |
During
the annual Izmir International Festival,
international and local artists perform at
various venues in the city and surrounding
area, including the theatre at Ephesus.
Take a horse-drawn carnage along the
promenade during the day and afterwards
spend the evening in the lively atmosphere
of the bars and cafes around Kordonboyu,
Passport Pier and Karsiyaka. |
