Mit ihren herrlichen Stränden und Naturparks ist die Provinz Izmir in der Türkei als die Perle der Ägäis bekannt. Tatsächlich mündet die Ägäis am äußersten Ende der Karaburun-Halbinsel, wo sich der malerische Sarpıncık-Leuchtturm befindet, in das Mittelmeer. Der Izmir-Abschnitt der EuroVelo 8 verbindet die Häfen von Dikili und Çeşme und führt durch 18 Bezirke der Provinz Izmir. Die allgemeine Struktur der Route basiert auf der Verknüpfung historischer Stätten, alter Siedlungen und des natürlichen und kulturellen Erbes. Die Route ist 495 Kilometer lang und wird von zwei sehr wichtigen antiken Städten gesäumt: Pergamon im Norden und Ephesus im Süden.

Von Athen aus können Sie die Fähre nach Ayvalik (40 km von Dikili entfernt) über Mitilini Mytilene auf der Insel Lesbos nehmen. Dikili kann dann leicht mit dem Bus erreicht werden. Eine weitere Alternative ist die Fähre nach Çeşme über die Insel Chios.
