İzmir'in Kavakları (Turkish: Poplars of İzmir), Birgi'nin Kavakları or Τζακιτζις (el) is an anonymous Turkish-Greek folkloric tune (Türkü-Zeibekiko) popular in both countries. Several singers, including Candan Erçetin, re-arranged and performed the song in Turkish pop music. There are similar folkloric dance tunes known as Κανελλόριζα in Greece.

The song tells the story of Çakıcı Efe (Çakırcalı Mehmet Efe) from Aydın, who is generally attributed as a local hero and known for helping poor people.
