Some people say that it’s like Bakirkoy district in Istanbul but I’m not so sure about that. I liked the local life here during a busy weekday. Many people going up and down on the pedestrian street or in the nearby side streets. I came here to find tickets for the Anathema concert and returned back by boat. I suggest you to do the trip anyway. The view was also nice.

I founded it less interesting than the ethnographic museum next to it but of course if you are not from Greece maybe you will be interested to see some greek and roman statues, tools and jewelry from ancient times etc The statues of Poseidon and Demeter in ancient times stood in the Agora.
The museum is open every day except Monday between 08:30-12:00 and 13:00-17:00) and the cost is only 5YTL (3euro). Address: Anafartalar CaddesiDirections: Near Konak square up on a small hill

At Konak square I noticed this small mosque. I loved this tiny charming mosque which is situated right next to the clock tower. Don’t expect to find a good corner for picture though because dozens of people passing by endlessly! :)

Konak Square is home to Belediye, or Town Hall, an imposing modern bulding from which today's business takes place. Just behind lies Ataturk Caddesi, a broad seafront promenade that stretches 2 miles along the bay and offers a stunning view of the gulf. Leave a Comment

Visit Kadifekale Hill, or the Velvet Castle atop ancient Mount Pagus where at one time the acropolis of Lysimachos stood. The panoramic view from here is spectacular. This citadel with its massive walls and towers incorporates the foundations of previous structures from the Roman, Byzantine, Genoese, and Ottoman periods. On the slopes of the hill once stood a Roman theatre and stadium that seated 20,000 spectators. Here too, is said to lie the tomb of St. Polycarp. Leave a Comment

Relax! Dont forget you are on holidays! There are always things to do or see but one of the moments you could have is to enjoy a café at the cafés along the historic Pasaport Quay (1877) at the port of İzmir (see the second picture)

Visit the old Greek Quarter tucked quietly away in Bornova for a totally different feel of Izmir. I love this picture - these two had such a friendship. I wonder how many intimate conversations took place behind that door over the years. Leave a Comment
