Izmir Airport

Izmir Airport location mapIzmir airport is located within Gaziemir / Izmir and is named after the former Prime Minister of Turkey, Adnan Menderes thus also known as Adnan Menderes Airport. It is serving the Izmir and Aegean area and is catering its services for all international flights. The airport is not only renowned of its 4th place for the airport having the most traffic from both local and international tourists but is also known for its rich history that it covers. Though it may have been a part of the history, it does not necessarily mean that the airport is considered as an old one. As compared to any international airports across the globe, Izmir airport can be termed as a new one. In fact, the new terminal for international flights was just built last September of 2007. This only means that the terminal is equipped with all the latest machineries that will help in making all travellers comfortable with their trip. Furthermore, it is also expected that it will be the start in replacing the old terminal.

Testimonials & Reviews

We were on a 2-week cruise throughout the Mediterranean and thanks to reading reviews like this one, we decided to book a private tour through Ephesus Breeze. It turned out to be one of our best decisions on the trip and one that I would recommend without any reservation.”
