Could be Episcopal, never been there so don´t know. There are 3 Catholic churches in Izmir I believe and some petitions to build a new one in another English community. Don´t forget the beautiful Meryemana in Selcuk which has Mass every Sunday at 10:30 and you can tour the Blessed Mother´s house at no cost when you go for Mass.
