Paul´s Cafe is not Catholic. It is more or less non denominational gathering place. Service in English is on Sunday at 11:00 followed by a turkish service. Paul´s is also a good place for lunch or a tea break while in Antalya.

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.
