Foça
A compact Aegean town in Izmir province with a walkable centre of cafés and restaurants and scenic coastal viewpoints, Foça stands on the site of ancient Phocaea, one of the twelve Ionian cities of Anatolia. Greek colonists from Phocaea founded Marseille in 600 BC, Empúries in 575 BC, and Velia in 540 BC, giving this modest Turkish town an outsized place in the history of the ancient Mediterranean world.
