This is a Half day Jewish tour and will take about 4 hours and after will drive you back to your hotel,the izmir airport or cruise ship port in Izmir.Along with most Jews in Turkey,Izmir''s Jewish community is also overwhelmingly Sephardic,not with standing a continuous Romaniote Jewish existence in Anatolia dating back to the antiquity,as well as small scale migrations by Ashkenazi Jews into Ottoman lands (usually fleeing the persecutions in Central Europe) at various times.The constitution of an organized Jewish community in Ottoman Izmir has its roots in the eviction of Jews from Spain in 1492,although it is almost certain that there was not a direct and immediate migration from Spain to the city of Izmir self.It is indeed interesting to note that, while the records do indicate small settlements by Sephardim Jewish migrants in such inland cities as Manisa,Akhisar,Turgutlu and Tire,the current day metropolis of Izmir goes unmentioned in the 16th century context.
