Description
Turkish coast. False-colour satellite image of part of the coast of Turkey in the Aegean Sea. This part of the coast is in the north-west of the country. The largest city in this frame is Izmir (formerly Smyrna), found at the end of the inlet at bottom right. The two large islands off the coast are Lesbos (upper) and Chios. Both of these are governed by Greece. This region is favoured as a centre for tourism, due both to its very warm climate and its associations with ancient history. The data for this image were gathered by a Landsat satellite.
