Mention Gaziemir and most people say airport — fair, Adnan Menderes is right here. But it's not just a layover. The area around Optimum draws every teenager in the city, Turkey's only space camp is here, so is Fuar İzmir, and Sarnıç Pond handles a weekend picnic just fine. None of it is flashy, but it gets the day done. If the dice landed here, just go with it quietly.
