Farewell to Duvutlar and hello Izmir

Today we had an early start to drive to Izmir airport, drop off the hire car and say a sad farewell to our family ...with a date for next year, they headed back to the Netherlands, and we grabbed a taxi to bring us to the Hilton Hotel in Izmir.

This time we upgraded ourselves to an executive room on the 26th floor of the tallest building on the Agean Coast.



How nice is this? And there is use of the executive lounge to go with it...all day tea, coffee,juice, fruit, along with local and international magazines, newspapers; computers and DVD's. From 6pm till 8.30, they serve complimentary local and imported beverages with a snack buffet of desserts and cakes.


This is part of our room window view, overlooking the town and the sea.


This is one view from the executive lounge. Never in my life have I seen so many hills covered by so many dwellings.

We went for a walk through Izmir, incorporating a couple of ferry rides, and a horse and cart ride back to our hotel.







At six, we went for the complimentary drinks and buffet in the executive lounge. I tell you, we could get used to this very easily :)







All very nice, and finished off with a beautiful sunset, and a magnificent view over Izmir from our room.






Goodnight !
