Situated in the Aegean Province of Turkey, Izmir enjoys a great climate that is attractive for a vacation. In addition, its location has a lot of historical significance, thereby adding to its appeal. There is an interesting legend about the origins of its name. The King of Cyprus had a beautiful daughter called Smyrna. Her beauty, unfortunately, made her mother say that she was more beautiful than the goddess Aphrodite. In great anger, the goddess influenced Smyrna to become her father's lover. One night, Smyrna encouraged her nurse to make her father drunk before she went to bed with him. When the king discovered what had happened, he drove his daughter away from the palace and pursued her into the countryside to slay her. However, before that could happen, Aphrodite sympathized with Smyrna and turned her into a myrrh tree. The king's sword split the tree apart and out came Adonis.Archeological excavations date the first town here to the Bronze Age (between 3500 and 1000 BC). The early settlement was called Smurna or Smyrna.Besides the interesting history, there are special sites that are worthy of visit in Izmir. Tepekule (Smyrna)This is the site of the original settlement that...more
