Izmir was a city in western Turkey.
History[]
In 2008, a call centre owned by Ephraim Salt where Zeynep worked was located in Izmir. She said Izmir has a river "that's so poisonous you don't hang your washing out when the wind changes". Her office had a view of an illegal sand quarry where people crashed cars. The SkyPuncher spaceship crashed into that quarry on its maiden voyage.

In the mid- to late 21st century, Izmir had a T-Mat centre. (TV: The Seeds of Death [+]Brian Hayles, Doctor Who season 6 (BBC1, 1969).)
Alternate timeline[]
Izmir was vanquished by the Saxon Master during the Year That Never Was, and a statue of him was erected outside of it. Martha Jones flew over Izmir in a Chinook owned by the Turkish Air Force. (PROSE: The Story of Martha [+]Dan Abnett, The Story of Martha (2008).)
