Izmir / Foca area
Foca is a picturesque seaside town set around two arching bays, known to the locals as Big Sea and Little Sea.
This charming and friendly place, situated by the seaside has a mild Aegean climate an intimate atmosphere and friendly people. It is a resort area with many excellent restaurants and uncrowded beaches. The famous Siren Rocks mentioned in Homer's Odyssey can be seen across the bay of Foca and may also be visited.
Some of the Greek buildings remain and their very presence preserves the authentic character of this ancient settlement. If you have an interest in archaeology you will find many excavation sites in progress and the world's second oldest amphitheater, which has only recently been discovered, is within the town boundary.
The town's busy fishermen set out early in the day, and then return with fresh fish for the famous seafood restaurants that line the cobbled promenade. Delicate flavoured sea bass and tender calamari are both local specialties, best enjoyed with a chilled bottle of local wine.
The town has a good selection of shops and a really interesting weekly market; while the bright lights of Izmir, with its excellent shopping, nightlife and international airport, are only a short drive away for those who want to dance the night away!

Bes Kapilar Castle (Castle of the five gates): This antique castle was given to Manuel Zacharna by the Genoese. This castle is used as open-air theater today
External Castle: Referred as "External Castle or Genoese Castle" at "Castle Bay" southwest of Foca, according to sources, this castle was constructed by Ottomans on a strategic point to guard the region on 1678
