Hello,
I've signed up for an RS "13-day Best of Turkey" tour in April 2026. I plan to spend a couple of extra days after the tour in the Izmir area. Can anyone recommend a decent hotel there? I searched the forum and the most recent query on this subject was 11 years ago. If possible, I'd prefer a hotel that mirrors Rick's philosophy of using smaller, centrally located, family-run operations. Also, I'm budgeting two days to get a taste of the area. Is that a sufficient amount of time? Please and thank you!
