Izmir Clock Tower
ANATHEMA live in Izmir!
Ataturk's statue
I need to travel, if it is possible by ship, (not a cruise) on September 27th from Izmir or near to Athens or Pireo.
Which would be the options, which would be the cost and how can I buy the ticket?
Thanks
Guillermo

As said before, head to Cesme near Izmir, get to main bus station then there is a dolmus to cesme.

Saat Kulesi (Clock Tower)
The symbol of Izmir, the Clock Tower stands in Konak Square in the heart of the city. A gift from the Sultan Abdulhamid and built in 1901, its elaborate ornamentation exemplifies the late-Ottoman style.
Our band had flown into an air base, then was being transported by bus into the city of Izmir. Seeing a large gathering of people, and a few camels, our bus driver pulled over to allow us the opportunity to see what was going on, and to perhaps get a few unusual photos. We were fascinated by the camels, having only seen them in American zoos prior to this. They appeared to be loaded down as if part of a desert caravan, but communications difficulties prevented us from learning what was really happening.
One thing was clear - these guys loved their animals, and treated them with more affection than I show my dog! Strangest of all was the sight of one man sharing a cigarette with his beast. Yes, the camel was smoking a cigarette. If you look closely at one of the photos attached, you will see the cigarette smoke coming out the camel's mouth.
40 minutes outside Izmir there is a small resort, Kazan village. People form Kazakstan live there. There is a wonderful farm there, with horses and a small museum house, decorated by a traditional way of living of Kazakstans' .
Theres two main train stations(Gar) in Izmir one is "Basmane Gar" from here awailable to go to Istanbul or ankara or inner parts of country and the other is "Alsancak Gar" where you can go to south for example Aydin , Kushadasi in Seljuk you can wisit a very nice steam and DMU train museum this is highly recommanded place for steam train fans.....
It is the most important elements of Izmir Harbor. It is a beautiful marble tower that rests in the middle of the Konak district, standing 25 meters in height. It was designed by the Levantine French architect Raymond Charles Père in 1901 for the commemoration of the 25th anniversary of the ascension of Ottoman Sultan Abdülhamid II. The clock workings themselves were given as a gift to the then Ottoman Empire by Kaiser Wilhelm II.
The tower district is densily populated by some hundreds of pigeons that prefer walking rather than flying, desperately hoping to be fed!
