One major problem in towns of all sizes is the lack of street signs, but almost every local tourist office can provide you with a map. City tourist offices almost always provide acceptable maps; those for İstanbul and İzmir are as good as any you pay for.

It may be Turkey’s third-largest city in terms of population, but in the congestion stakes İzmir has to be challenging for top honours.
