Çiğli is a metropolitan district of İzmir in western Turkey. It covers the northern end of İzmir Metropolitan Municipality around the mouth of the River Gediz, across the Gulf of İzmir from the main city.

 The city was called "Çiğli" by the first settlers, because the area generally consisted of marshes and reeds, and because of its proximity to the sea the greenery was very dewy.

205 bird species have been counted in the bird paradise of İzmir, including 63 species that are year-round residents, 54 species of summer migrants, 43 species of winter migrants and 30 transient species. 56 species of birds have bred in the Park.

The most famous among them are the flamingos. When designing the emblem, it was inspired by flamingos. The figure of the flamingo was simplified as much as possible, resulting in a clear and memorable emblem.

The region has a typically Mediterranean climate. Summers are hot and dry, and winters are warm and rainy. The color palette of the municipality of Çiğli was created on this basis.
