Smyrna was a Greek city located at a strategic point on the Aegean coast of Anatolia.

The name of the city since about 1930 is İzmir.Two sites of the ancient city are today within Izmir's boundaries. The first site, probably founded by indigenous peoples, rose to prominence during the Archaic Period as one of the principal ancient Greek settlements in western Anatolia.
