Rent apartment

Even izmir is comparable modern compared to rest of Turkey, I would personally recommend sites with a security guard at the enterance confirming every visitor before taking in.

Such sites are more expensive by means of rent and monthly payments yet as you are a woman living as an expat, security is more important I guess.

Aside from that, everyone LOVES izmir and dreams to live there eventually.

Enjoy your stay there and savor the coastline "kordon" by yourself or and with your family.

Have a nice day
