About İnciraltı Deniz Müzesi

The İnciraltı Sea Museum is an open-air naval museum on the pier of the İnciraltı recreation area in Balçova, run by the Turkish Navy's İzmir Museum Ships Directorate. It was set up under a protocol between the Southern Sea Area Command and İzmir Metropolitan Municipality to show the public the working spaces and living quarters on board the frigates, submarines and fast attack boats of the fleet. Visitors can go aboard decommissioned vessels moored at the pier: the frigate TCG Ege and the submarine TCG Piri Reis, together with the fast attack boat TCG Kasırga. An AB 212 helicopter with tail number TCB 36 is also on display. Visiting: Visit İzmir gives opening hours of 10:00 to 18:00 and lists the museum as closed on Mondays. Visitors in 2026 reported similar hours, with a midday break. An entry fee is charged.
