Izmir Synagogues Tour
Overview
Trace İzmir’s centuries-old Jewish heritage on a guided visit to five historic synagogues, each reflecting the city’s Sephardic traditions, architecture, and community life. Beginning in the Kemeraltı district, visit Bikur Holim, Etz Hayim, Sinyora, and Shalom Synagogues while learning how İzmir’s Jewish community developed from the 16th century onward.
Hear the stories behind sacred objects, decorative details, restorations, and the fires that shaped these places of worship. Continue by tram toward Karataş, with an opportunity to taste boyoz, a local pastry closely associated with İzmir’s Sephardic culture.
The tour concludes at Beth Israel, the city’s largest synagogue, admired for its elaborate interior and fine wooden craftsmanship. As these are active religious sites, advance permission is required, and passport details may be requested by the İzmir Jewish Community before the visit.
