Tire is a city and a district in the Turkish province of Izmir . The city is located about 60 kilometers southeast of the provincial capital Izmir at a junction of the D-310 road, which runs east from Torbalı to Alaşehir . After a regional reform, the city is identical in terms of population and area to the district.

The district is located in the south of the province and borders on Selçuk and Torbalı in the west, Bayındır in the north, Ödemiş in the east and Aydın Province in the south . The city lies at the transition from the Aydın Dağları Mountains to the Küçük Menderes plain .

Tire has a museum with an archaeological and an ethnological section.

history

Tire is believed to be on the site of the ancient Arcadiopolis . Under Lydian rule the city was called Teira , in Byzantine times Thyrea or Thyraia . In the early Turkish period she belonged to the beylik of the Aydınoğulları . After the Ottomans came to power in 1426, Tire became the capital of a sanjak and had a mint. Until the Turkish-Greek population exchange after the Treaty of Lausanne of 1923, Tire had around 15,000 predominantly Greek inhabitants.

Sports

The district is represented by the sports club Tirespor . The football division of the club played a total of ten seasons in the second highest professional division in the 1970s and 1983s, in today's TFF 1st Lig . In the summer of 1992, when they were relegated from the 3rd league , they said goodbye to professional football and have since played in the regional amateur league.

Since the 2013/14 season, the city has been represented by the Tire 1922 Spor club in the TFF 3rd Lig . This was called Izmir Il Özel Idaresi until summer 2013 and only then changed its name to Tire 1922 Spor.
