Karaburun

Karaburun is a district of İzmir Province of Turkey.

Karaburun is at the northern tip of the peninsula with the same name, and its northern and western coasts have beautiful bays that surround the İzmir bay. There were settlements date back to the Stone Age in the area, and excavations have indicated it was a developed cultural centre during the Hittite period, then a trading centre during the Aeolian, Lydians and under the Roman Empire. It is the most recently constituted district of İzmir, and has small guest houses and fish restaurants. Its most dramatic feature is the setting, with villages and orchards clinging to the steep rock slopes. There is a bus service in the area, although private vehicles offer more possibilities for exploring.
