Narrow streets in the historic center of Tire were bustling.  Cars, scooters, shoppers, vendors, cats and dogs - all seemed to be out and about, and the town was so full of life.  It was a market day for which Tire is widely known in the region.  I was visiting there for the first time with my Turkish friends from Izmir who took a day off to show me and another friend one of the loveliest regions of Western Turkey.

Tire is about a one-hour drive inland from Izmir.  Once we got there, we strolled, stopping here and there, visiting local artisans' workshops and mosques, admiring old buildings, tasting some snacks... how I love a slice of life experience like this!  Thank you, Koray, Tinas, Sule, for a wonderful day that I will always remember.
