The airline, awarded ‘Best Leisure Airline in Europe’ in the latest survey conducted by Skytrax, will offer a total of 7 connecting flights between its airports in Italy and Izmir during the 2024 summer season: two weekly flights from Rome Fiumicino to Izmir (Tuesday and Friday), three weekly flights from Milan Malpensa to Izmir (Monday, Thursday and Saturday) and two weekly flights from Venice Marco Polo to Izmir (Thursday and Sunday).
Located along the northwestern coast of Turkey, Izmir (Izmir in Italian) is a picturesque port city with a strong tourist vocation. Those who visit it seek relaxation, but also cultural experiences of great depth following in the footsteps of Alexander the Great. Izmir’s rich history is evidenced by its historic centre, fortifications and the UNESCO World Heritage site of Ephesus. To offer travelers a complete experience of the destination, SunExpress collaborated in the development of the Visit Izmir application, which allows you to discover the attractions of the coastal city in just a few clicks.
From Izmir, Italian passengers can set off to discover other wonderful Turkish destinations thanks to the eight national connections operated by this airport to destinations such as Adana, Antalya, Diyarbakır, Gaziantep, Kayseri, Mardin, Samsun and Van.
