It's not a real custom but it's really common in Karsiyaka. In the summertimes, people of Karsiyaka like to walk on seafront and they spend their times by the seaside. In the morning or in the evening it doesnt matter. During their walk people like to eat kagit helva . I know this from my childhood. It's really fun esp for children. actually adults like to eat it as well. You can buy kagit helva from ice cream shops. You can eat it plain or you can ask to ice cream seller to make a sandwich for u. (kagit helva-ice cream - kagit helva)
great taste and it is still living.
On the picture my daughter Lidya likes to eat kagit helva in Karsiyaka-May 2005

Favorite thing: My visit to Karsiyaka was short but the heart of the city is definitely the paved shopping street between the port and rail station. The small railway station looked really as part of the town centre and not as a line carving it up into two - at other towns and other locations rail lines or avenues create this "severance effect" but not there.
One must definitely try the small restaurants on one of the side streets, one next to the other, that serve a.o.t. "kokorec". I was expecting something like the Greek kokoretsi with the meat served on a dish but instead it was chopped, sandwiched and spicy.
Fondest memory: The long park along the coastline was so full of people enjoying the night out, it was really a friendly place. Sitting by the sea and gazing at the city lights of Izmir across the bay was really something to remember.
