Typical Market Places
Colorful and noisy, with their own distinctive, but not unpleasant aroma. A memorable experience.

visit the Konak area
On a warm, sunny afternoon, this place gets crowded with locals strolling along and enjoying their beautiful city. Like most of the area near the shore, this part of the city is very picturesque and gives me the impression that people here are relaxed and happy. The clock tower is a good landmark to use if you need a place to meet up. The entrance to the bazaar is right there, as well as access to the promenade and the trains and busses.

  • Directions: Konak is on the south end of the promenade. The clock tower should be on most tourist maps of the city.

    A visit to a mosque
    Our guests graciously invited us (members of the band) to visit this small neighborhood mosque. It was a unique learning and cultural experience, as few of us were familiar with the Islamic faith (this was in 1967, remember, and many of us were young).

    Have a little break
    We were in Konak town in Izmir and actually really tired , thats why we took a break on the harbor of Konak by the ''North Shield'' cafe&bar...The weather was good thats why we sat outside and enjoy the beatiful wiev of Izmir while having our coffees...If you pass bye there i guess you should stop and have a break , really reasonable prices and nice service with wiev of Izmir....

  • Address: Konak meydani-Eski balikcilar hali-Konak
  • Directions: If you get in the square of Konak take the big clock behind you and walk to the huge shoping center,you ll see there...

    Nice area to walk around as it's pedestrianised.The old clock tower built in 1901 and the small mosque with some lovely tile work.Just be careful of the pigeons as there are hundreds and they still insist on feeding them.

    Asansor,(lift).
    Affords you a good view of the bay with the added bonus of 2 cafe/bars and restaurant at the top to take in that view.Saying that it was a tad pricey.
    Lift costs 75 kurush for both ways.
    Built in 1907 and recently restored in 1993.
    Asansor restaurant number and address are below.
    Bars are Asansor Ceneviz Meyhanesi,(0)232 255 54 20
    and Asansor Sedir Bar same number.

    Enjoy a few hours shopping,eating or just wandering around soaking up the atmosphere.
    Lots of little cafes and shops tucked away in amongst the old narrow streets.
    Local rumour says there are almost 4000 businesses in the streets,either way it's easy to lose track of time and your orientation.

    Alsancak
    This is the one of the most famous and important town of izmir.A lot of restaurants,cafes,bars,theatre,cinemas and a beatiful coast....You just need to get there and walk around , probably Alsancak will take at least your whole day to enjoy it...You can get the restaurants and have beatiful sea food , kebabs or even fast foods like Burger King or Mc Donalds.But I guess this isnt a good idea.You must eat sea food there and walk on the coast and have beer in one of the countless bars by the Alsancak.You want to shop , you are in the rigth place,cause zillion of shops big shopping centers and so on...Also please dont miss the internal boat goes to the Karsiyaka and we you get in there sit outside of the boat and have a tea....It goes great with wonderful wiev....enjoy

  • Address: Alsancak-kordon boyu
  • Directions: You will find.Everyway goes to there....
