Loved Old Smyrna in Bayrakli, Izmir. Ruins from 800BC captures the Archaic Greek metropolis
Old Smyrna的点评
点评：Old Smyrna in Izmir was amazing and we had it virtually to ourselves. (This is not the Roman Smyrna: its around the harbour and is 300-800 years earlier.)
Homer is said to have lived in Smyrna around 750BC ish. I was reading an account of his era: the bustling archaic Greek metropolis trading goods across the Mediterranean and upto Mesopotamia, the early progress of philosophy, mathematics, poetry, architecture etc.
A brilliant remnant dwelling shows the architectural style dismissed by The Romans but iconic to this era with the cluster of rooms around a central courtyard. There are clever water transfer systems and substantial ruins of the Temple to Athena, the civic meeting hall, storage quarters for their huge wine vats etc. You had to be imaginative but the evidence was all around and sufficiently labelled, though not well maintained. I loved to wander there and dream of a distance time. Plus Izmir is wonderful: bustling, clean, polite and friendly, huge old souk (market) linking to a great hotel (l’Agora), which opposite the phenomenal old Roman city of Smyrna.
Also ‘How to be’ by Adam Nicolson is a great book to put you in the space of old Smyrna. He does an amazing job of bringing Homer and his Greek city of Smyrner to life.

翻译：伊兹密尔的旧士麦那令人惊叹，我们几乎独享了它。（这不是罗马的士麦那：它位于港口附近，比罗马早 300-800 年。）
据说荷马大约在公元前 750 年生活在士麦那。我读到过一篇关于他那个时代的记述：繁华的古希腊大都市在地中海和美索不达米亚之间进行商品贸易，哲学、数学、诗歌、建筑等的早期发展。
一座辉煌的遗迹住宅展示了罗马人所摒弃的建筑风格，但中央庭院周围的房间群是这个时代的标志性建筑。这里有巧妙的输水系统和雅典娜神庙的大量遗迹、市民会议厅、巨大的酒桶储藏区等。你必须发挥想象力，但证据随处可见，标签齐全，尽管维护得不好。我喜欢在那里漫步，梦想着遥远的时光。此外，伊兹密尔也很棒：熙熙攘攘、干净整洁、礼貌友好，巨大的老集市（市场）与一家很棒的酒店（l’Agora）相连，酒店对面就是令人惊叹的古罗马城市士麦那。
此外，亚当·尼科尔森 (Adam Nicolson) 的《如何生活》也是一本很棒的书，可以带你进入古老的士麦那。他出色地将荷马和他的希腊城市士麦那带入了现实生活。
