Seferihisar Guide

Seferihisar, a region within Izmir, the jewel of the Aegean, was an Ionian city in the past. We can list the things that come to mind when we say Seferihisar, which is very sunny and hot especially in summer due to the Mediterranean climate, as citrus fruits, history and nature school. Seferihisar, one of the important centers of citrus production in our country, also hosts the Tangerine Festival in autumn. You can see the natural products of Seferihisar in the market established around Sığacık Castle, and you can see and taste natural products at the tangerine festival. There is also a Nature School that makes this place special. Founded by a group of volunteers, this school is located in a village that has been restored to study and preserve natural life. There are also ancient cities within Seferihisar. Teos Ancient City and Temple of Dionysus, Seferihisar Great Mosque are among the historical and cultural places to see. Of course, when you want to cool off in Seferihisar, which is famous for its heat, there is the famous Akkum Beach. There are free areas as well as private areas on this beach. For transportation to Seferihisar, Izmir Adnan Menderes Airport can be used by air and Ido can also be used for maritime transportation. Apart from that, since Izmir is already a busy city, it is possible to reach Seferihisar by bus services from all over Turkey. If we talk about the timing, with a classic Izmir expression, you need to consider that it is very hot in summer, the temperature is around 40 degrees in July-August, but the springs are very suitable. Accordingly, festivals are usually held towards September and in the fall. Since the people of Seferihisar generally make a living with agricultural production, we recommend you to meet warm-hearted people especially in stone houses in the villages. In Sığacık/Seferihisar, which has a history of approximately 3000 years, nature and history are intertwined. It is a functional place for those who want to travel, so to speak.
