Turkey's hidden gem: Izmir.

Many people who travel to Turkey choose Istanbul and Cappadocia, and may know nothing about Izmir and not include it in their itinerary. In fact, there are many famous ruins here, as well as the beautiful Aegean Sea! Every alley in Izmir leads directly to the sea. Along the promenade of the bay, the blue sea, the bright sun, and the clear sky, the bay extends to the Aegean Sea. On the bench by the shore, someone is fishing leisurely. On the right, there is a long embankment extending into the sea. The classical yellow building at the top of the embankment is particularly eye-catching in the sun. The embankment has now been converted into many food streets, with many good restaurants and bars. It's worth a visit! What I like more is Cesme and Alacati, the twin stars of the Aegean Sea in Izmir. The two towns are only a quarter of an hour's drive apart. Alacati is a fairy tale town that looks more like Greece than Cesme. The houses in Alacati are different in shape and colorful. The corners of the streets and the walls are blooming bougainvillea. It seems to be walking in a children's watercolor painting. Every house or shop door, I have to stop and stay for a while, not willing to miss any details, the shape of the doors and windows, the tablecloth of the grid, the color matching of the sofa and pillows, even the small vase on the windowsill, everything is so pleasing to the eye, the beauty is pure, stylish and interesting. I even met a couple taking wedding photos here, bless them!
