Izmir tourist attractions
Despite the fact that the city’s origins date back to 6.500 BC, there are rather few historic monuments in Izmir, being the most important ones: the Konak Square with the emblematic clock tower, the Kadifekale Castle and the Elevator (Asansor) used in the past to connect the lower and the upper parts of the city.

Amongst other popular tourist attractions of Izmir are walks along the waterfront promenade, Kordon and a visit to the Kemeralti bazaar. Street markets in Turkey are fascinating places, where apart from purchasing souvenirs and Turkish delicacies such as locum or baklavas to take home, you can also gat a good look at the colourful traditional handcrafts.

The Kemeralti bazaar is very large and a big part of it is dedicated to the commerce of cheap, counterfeit goods; if you are interested in traditional Turkish products, sometimes it is very helpful to have a local guide to show you around.

The city can be comfortably visited on foot, especially its oldest quarters, such as the Alsancak area. If you are staying only in Izmir, public transportation and taxis are also quite efficient and inexpensive means of getting to even the most remote parts of this large metropolis.
