I have been to Both. Turkey is an amazing country, with beautiful sites, and the most amazing people I have ever met.
Izmir is a beautiful city, very modern and at least near the waterfront it apears very rich. My hotel in Izmir wasn't so great, it was ugly and overpriced, mirrors all over the lobby, it looked like a disco, and was very dark. The food in Izmir was great, as for tourist activities there aren't a lot, but it would be a good base to visit Ephesus and a few other sites in the area.
Bodrum was also nice, very touristy. It rained while I was there, but otherwise it has a great bars and clubs, because of all the tourists. The beaches are a bit small, but nice.
My stay in both places was great and I would definately go back.

I went to Izmir a loooooooong time ago (the 70s). I went to see some of the old biblical church sites. I remembered running into a lot of friendly people and eating some great food mainly. I have more clear memories of istanbul though (a GREAT city).

I was on a cruise ship and we docked at Izmir but we didn't get off the ship because of the unrest in the country. There was alot of little markets right at the port with some souvenir shops.
