Foca Guide

Seals are still one of the symbols of the city today. The town was one of the most important settlement centres of the Ionians. In Foça, which was founded on the ruins of the Ionian city, there are many important and historical ruins underground even today.
The famous historian Homer also mentioned Foça in his works. One of the symbols of Foça, which has been the subject of mythological legends, is the rooster outside the seal. Foça is like an island town today. There are many large and small islands around the town. You can visit these islands by joining boat tours.
