Balçova

Barely 9km/5.5mi from Konak Square to the southwest of Izmir and beyond extensive residential suburbs lies a major road junction. To the left (700m/765yds) is the spa center of Balçova with the radioactive Baths of Agamemnon (35-40°C/95-105°F). A cable-car takes the visitor to a panoramic restaurant. Turn right at the road junction for the resort of Inciralti (2km/1.25mi).

13km/8mi beyond the crossroads, the main road which extends west towards Urla and Çesme reaches another junction.
