Smyrna was one of the 7 Churches mentioned in the book of Revelation. Turkish Bible have the word "smyrna" replaced with ("Izmir") because Smyrna is part of Izmir today. Smyrna is rich in history and has huge collections of artifacts! How to reach to Smyrna? 1. You can get to metro (subway), which costs only 3 TL. Head to Çankaya station, at Çankaya you will see boards explaining about Smyrna. From Çankaya, it is walkable distance of 10 minutes. As you get out of subway, you will start seeing big iron barricades, yes that's Smyrna. 2. From Basmane train station ( train otogar) it's walkable, 8-10 minutes max. If you are visiting Turkey for its archeological & Historical stuff,(many Christians do) kindly make sure to buy a museum Card (costs around 70TL)and you will have access to all Museums and historical places. It obviates all needs of buying tickets and standing in long queues. Carry a water bottle wherever you go as sometimes it's too sunny. Be careful with Taxi drivers. Have a good visit. If there's any other queries, please feel free to ask. Happy to help you!

Smyrna (Izmir), Turkey Pausanius, a geographer and traveler of 2nd century A.D. relates that Alexander the Great came to the slopes of Mt. Pagos (Kadifekale) to hunt, that he fell asleep under a plane tree by a spring in front of the Temple Nemesis, and that in his dream he saw the two goddesses Nemesis (the goddesses of divine retribution and revenge), who commanded him to find a city in that spot and move the people there from the former site. According to the legend the Smyrnaeans asked advice from the goddesses from the famous oracle of Apollo at Claros (present-day Ahmetbeyli/Menderes). Apollo answered that “those who live on Pagos (Kadifekale) beyond the Sacret Meles (today’s Yesildere stream) will be tree and four time happier than before”. This legend is depicted on very numerous coins of Roman Period Smyrna.

This was a very nice ruin to visit. Luckily we could read a lot of information online because the signs weren't all translated or the information was scarce. Many areas were out of reach for the tourists which is why I only gave this 4 stars. It is a pity you cannot go and visit the house of Sabbatai Zevi, for example. One of the most interesting things to see was the pipe system that still carries water since Roman times. It's still in it's original state. The rest is quite nice to visit but I would expect more involvement from the local authorities and maybe some more texts about the place and different areas that you can visit. The entrance cost was 130 TL. There weren't many tourists around.

The remains of the ancient agora of Smyrna constitute today the space of İzmir Agora Museum in İzmir's Namazgah quarter, although its area is commonly referred to as "Agora" by the city's inhabitants. Situated on the northern slopes of the Pagos hills, it was the commercial, judicial and political nucleus of the ancient city, its center for artistic activities and for teaching. İzmir Agora Open Air Museum consists of five parts, including the agora area, the base of the northern basilica gate, the stoa and the ancient shopping centre.

Visiting the Agora of Smyrna was an incredible experience! This ancient site offers a deep dive into the rich history of Izmir. The ruins are well-preserved, and walking through them truly feels like stepping back in time. You can almost imagine the bustling market and the lively atmosphere that once filled this space. The site is also well-maintained and provides informative signs that help bring the history to life. Whether you're a history buff or just curious, the Agora of Smyrna is a must-visit in Izmir. Highly recommended!
