  • Beth Israel Synagogue, Izmir, Turkiye
    Beth-Israel is the favourite of Izmir's Jews. It is considered the most beautiful synagogue not only in Izmir but also in the whole near east, with its magnificence, beauty and the effect of carrying new European trends. Especially the most beautiful places of this synagogue are Teva and Ehal. The seats of the synagogue are lined up like a theatre hall. The most interesting thing is that, as seen in many synagogues, hidden seats are made for children to sit on the back of the seats and can be opened when desired. The most interesting thing about this synagogue is that it is on the east wall of the Holy Ehal, that is, not in the direction of Jerusalem, but on the south wall. The reason is the shape of the plot. In some parts of prayers, people turn to the left, which is the east wall, and worship is done. (We do not provide entrance permission to Beth Israel Synagogue. It needs an appointment before the visiting date.)

    Havra (Synagogue) street is a lively street from the first light of the morning to the dark of the evening.

Every Jewish group that comes to Izmir from Spain and Portugal built a synagogue for itself. The result is a landscape unlike anywhere else in the world today.

After a long period of silence, the castle, which became invisible in the 20th century, surrounded by buildings, has the distinction of being the calmest and most beautiful place in Izmir with the partial repairs and landscaping works carried out in recent years. Kadifekale, which was established at a point that dominates the gulf in the centre of Izmir, was built by Lysimachos, one of his generals, on the instructions of Alexander the Great in the 3rd century BC. Established at an altitude of 186 meters above sea level, Kadifekale is located on an area of 6 kilometres. The north and east walls and five towers of the castle, whose east and south walls were completely destroyed, survived. The height of the towers is 20-35 meters.

    I corresponded extensively with Mr. Harun in advance of our Jewish heritage tour. He was exceedingly patient with my various questions and evolving plans. The tour itself was extensive and took us to both the city highlights and more synagogues than I'd ever previously visited in a single day. Our guide Enrico had a great knowledge of the local Jewish history and culture, and got along great with the whole family (including my two- and four-year old). I would highly recommend this tour agency and tour!
