Foça is a small harbour town on the coast north of İzmir, built on the site of ancient Phocaea. It is known for its stone houses, two sheltered bays, fish restaurants and the Mediterranean monk seals that live around the islands offshore.

Crossing İzmir to the north coast

This is the longest of the common routes from ADB because the airport sits on the southern edge of İzmir and Foça lies well to the north. The driver crosses the city on the ring motorway, passing the bay and the northern suburbs, then continues north through the Menemen area towards Aliağa before turning west to the coast.

The final stretch is a quieter road through low hills down to the sea. City traffic decides whether the trip is closer to 93 or 117 minutes, so arrivals in the late evening usually take the least time.

Foça or Yeni Foça?

There are two places with the name. Foça, sometimes called Eski Foça, is the historic town with the harbour, the old stone quarter and most hotels and guesthouses. Yeni Foça is a separate, smaller summer settlement more than 20 km further north along the coast, mainly holiday homes.

The price and time on this page are for Foça town. If your accommodation is in Yeni Foça, enter that address when booking so the right price is shown.

What Foça is like

Small hotels and pensions
Accommodation is mostly in family-run guesthouses and boutique hotels in restored houses rather than large resorts.
Boat trips
Daily boats from the harbour visit the islands and the Siren Rocks, where monk seals live in a protected area. Sightings are a matter of luck.
Slow pace
Popular with İzmir families at weekends and with visitors who want a quiet harbour town rather than a beach resort.

Planning the ride back to ADB

Because the route crosses all of İzmir, book your pickup about four and a half hours before an international departure. On weekday mornings and late afternoons, add another half hour for traffic through the city.
