Homestays are carefully selected and offer students the opportunity to learn more about the local culture in a comfortable setting while studying Turkish in Izmir. These homes are often between 5 - 20 minutes away from the school by public transport. Families usually offer affordable meal plans that allow you to sample the local cuisine. If you have special requests or diet restrictions (because of religion or health reasons), please let us know in advance. Your housing starts on the Sunday before your first day of class and ends on the Saturday after your last day of class, unless otherwise noted. Learn more about homestay housing

Izmir is a multicultural city and third biggest City in Turkey now but was also home to the Amazons, Lydians, Persian, Romans, Arabs, Ummayyads, Byzantines, Seljuks and Ottoman throughout the thousands years of history.
The Cities symbol is the Saat Kulesi (clock tower) next to the Governor’s Office and the Monumental statue of Hasan Tahsin who fired the first bullet in the war of Liberation.
Konak Pier and Alsancak Kordonboyu. You can enjoy here romantic sunsets, sea breezes, cafes, fish restaurants. Kemeraltı bazaar is a historic bazaar which is a important shopping center
in Izmir. Kadifekale and Asansör is the best place to enjoying panoramic view of Izmir.
But the coolest place in Izmir is Karşıyaka and Bostanlı where our
Language Center is based. We are situated a stone’s throw from the seaside with many cafes, bars and restaurants. Karsiyaka is the best place to live in Izmir and well known for ist cosmopolitan community. Our Students benefit from the laid-back atmosphere, fresh sea air and a wealth of things to see and do. Izmir bears the general charactristics of the Mediterranean climate zone. It is rainy in winter and hot in summer. As it is the case for İzmir’s entire coastline, Karşıyaka benefits on a daily basis from the famous north-west wind called “imbat” and which cools the city during summer days.
