Tire
Tire's Tuesday and Friday markets, famous across the wider Izmir region for handcrafted goods, draw visitors to this agricultural town in western Turkey alongside an old quarter dense with Islamic architecture. A local Nevruz Day celebration held every March traces its roots to 1403, and Tire meatballs are a well-known regional speciality. The surrounding district produces figs, cotton, and a range of fruits, with mountains to the south and the Küçük Menderes plain to the north.
