The Gulf of İzmir gives the city its broad Aegean setting, stretching along the coast of Anatolia and inland through the Gediz River Delta. Turkey’s third most populous city and the capital of İzmir Province, it is home to around 3.5 million people. Its landscape shifts from alluvial plains and small streams to somewhat more rugged ground in the south, while the Mediterranean climate keeps the atmosphere characteristically coastal.
