Foça Islands is an island group in the Gulf of İzmir, Turkey, outside the town of Foça. There are six uninhabited islands, of which Incir Ada is visited most heavily by tourists. The islands of Orak, Hayırsız, and Kartdere have cliffs of up to 80 metres. Orak has a pebble beach along its southern shore.

The largest island is Orak. The island group also includes Fener Ada, Incir Ada and Metelik Island.

Phocaea or Phokaia (Ancient Greek: Φώκαια, Phókaia; modern-day Foça in Turkey) was an ancient Ionian Greek city on the western coast of Anatolia. Greek colonists from Phocaea founded the colony of Massalia (modern-day Marseille, in France) in 600 BC, Emporion (modern-day Empúries, in Catalonia, Spain) in 575 BC and Elea (modern-day Velia, in Campania, Italy) in 540 BC.

The Gulf of İzmir (Turkish: İzmir körfezi), formerly known as the Gulf of Smyrna, is a gulf on the Aegean Sea, with its inlet between the Karaburun Peninsula and the mainland area of Foça. It is 64 kilometres (40 mi) in length by 32 kilometres (20 mi) in breadth, with an excellent anchorage. The city of İzmir, an important port city of Turkey, surrounds the end of the gulf.

Orak Island is an Aegean island in Turkey

The island faces Foça (Phokaia of the antiquity) in the gulf of İzmir at 38°41′31″N 26°52′57″E / 38.69194°N 26.88250°E / 38.69194; 26.88250. Its distance to coast is about 400 metres (1,300 ft).The longer (north to south) dimension of the island is 2 kilometres (1.2 mi). The name of the island orak ("sickle") refers to spit to the south of the island.It has been speculated that the ancient name of the island might be "Bakkheion". According to surface survey of Professor Ömer Özyiğit, the island was inhabited during the classical age up to Late Roman Empire era. There were three stone pits. One of them was probably a cult center of the goddess Cybele.

Metelik Island (Turkish: Metelik Adası) is an island in Turkey, about 300 meters off the coast of İsmetpaşa, Foça, in the Gulf of İzmir, in the Aegean Sea. Metelik Adası means "island of a low-value coin" or "small change island." It is a private island, previously owned by the Social Security Institution.

The island is part of the Foça Islands group. It has a surface area of about 1.5 hectares, a radius of about 150 meters, an elevation of about 1 meter, and a total shoreline of about 250 meters. The higher parts support vegetation, while the edges are bare rock.

Menemen (Turkish: [meneˈmæn]) is a municipality and district of İzmir Province, Turkey. Its area is 573 km, and its population is 200,904 (2022). The district extends on a fertile plain formed by the alluvial soil carried by the Gediz River. Adjacent districts are, from east to west; Aliağa and Foça to the north and Bornova, Karşıyaka and Çiğli to the south. Menemen district has a 27 km (17 mi) long coastline in the west and neighbors Manisa Province to the east. The town of Menemen is located at a distance of 35 km (22 mi) from İzmir center (Konak Square). Settlement across the district is loosely scattered along the Greater Metropolitan Area of İzmir in the south and consists of isolated villages along prairies in the north, which results in an average urbanization rate of only 42 per cent. The economy still relies on agriculture and stock breeding in large part, although the production and export of leather, ceramic and other earthenware products, as well as potentially of plastic products, based in two separate and specialized organized industrial zones made important steps forward during the last decade. Menemen's earthenware pottery products have been famous across Turkey for centuries. These two organized industrial zones as well as activities rebounding from the adjacent İzmir metropolitan area gain an increasing importance in the district's economy. Nevertheless, Gediz River, whose lower basin crosses Menemen plain to join the sea within the district boundaries still constitutes the lifeline of the region and matters relating to the river's flow as well as its present rate of rather high pollution is a matter of constant debate.

Yenifoça (meaning "New Foça" in Turkish, the words sometimes spelled separately as "Yeni Foça") is a former municipality of the Foça district, in Turkey's İzmir Province. It was merged into the municipality of Foça in 2008.

The town of Yenifoça is situated at about 80 km (50 mi) north by northwest of İzmir city center and a distance of 20 km (12 mi) from Foça proper. Since the names Yenifoça and that of the district center share the same roots, Foça itself is locally often called as Eskifoça ("the old Foça") in daily parlance.
