With the redness of the sunset, it takes man to other worlds. Especially if the sunset is from the sea, you will feel the fire that covers you. It was the most beautiful sunset I could watch in my life!

The waterfront is amazing. On the way to Alsancak, make sure to see Konak Pier and the old clocktower. There are so many restaurants, bars, and cafes to choose from in Alsancak. You can walk around for hours around Sair Esref or Kultur neighbourhoods, looking at old books or shopping for anything.

This museum has some priceless historic exhibits. The sculpture section is stunning, with examples from various ancient sites including Ephesus, Pergamon, Miletus as well as the agora in Izmir itself. The sculptures range in date from Archaic, Hellenistic and Roman periods. The pottery section is also very impressive. Highly recommended.
