How to get to the city centre
Posted: Mon November 17, 2008 09:14 PM UTC

I have a 7 hour layover in Izmir in January.
What is the best way to get to the city centre from the airport ? Is the Havas bus the best option or has the metro line been completed ? How long does the bus/train take ?
I will have around 4-5 hours net once you deduct around two hours for travel to and from the airport. What should I visit with the limited amount of time available ?

Thank you for any help you can provide.

George

hello,

take the havas bus from the airport,you may come to konak region of izmir for a small Izmir walk and visit,the journey may take 40 minutes depending on the traffic load of the city.You may also prefer to travel around so called '' KEMERALTI BAZAAR'' for 1-2 hours if you wish.Have a nice journey.

Hi George
7 h is not a big deal you need at least 2 hours ( 2 ways) to reach the city
and all you can do is just walk around in pasaport,alsancak.Do not forget about the rush hour traffic
good luck
