WIDE PLANET Resort Çandarlı lies only 100 kilometres northwest of the major city of Izmir, the third-largest in Turkey. The city is over 5000 years old and, legend has it, is the birthplace of the blind Greek poet Homer, who wrote the epic poems The Iliad and The Odyssey around 800 BC.

Today, Izmir is a cultural, Western-oriented city. This makes it a fascinating cocktail of Turkish charm, history, modern metropolis, shopping, cafés, gastronomy and exciting architecture.
