The İzmir Archaeology Museum features a diverse collection of artefacts spanning the Bronze Age, Greek, and Roman periods. The exhibits encompass a variety of items, including busts, statues, and tools, as well as eating and cooking utensils. In contrast, the Ethnography Museum focuses on Turkish history from the Seljuk period onwards, showcasing a range of pieces such as clothing and pottery. Together, these museums offer a comprehensive exploration of the rich cultural and historical heritage of the region.

If you have never taken a Hammam, the Turkish bath, you have never really been clean. It's a real adventure to experience it in a traditional environment. There are separate baths for ladies and gentlemen, but tourists are often allowed to take a mixed bath together.

Nha Trang is lined with an uninterrupted, fine stretch of sand: the Tran Phu Beach. This is the beach most used by both locals and tourists, with infrastructure such as changing rooms and bathrooms available throughout at a fee. Although the beach works great for recreation, it's far from being the area's cleanest and most attractive. Alternatives worth exploring include the Bai Dai Beach, frequented by surfers. Bai Tien Beach (stones rather than sand), beaches on nearby islands (such as Bai Tru on Hon Tre, and Hon Tam Island beach). The beautiful Diep Son Beach is known for the spectacular underwater sand path leading to the island (only seen in full during low tide). If you're ready to travel further out, Jungle Beach is a great option but will take a couple of hours to reach. Surrounded by nature and fascinating flora and fauna, this beach is popular with both off-the-beaten-trackers and resort vacationers staying at the nearby Jungle Beach Resort.
