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.

Best mall in Izmir 1. I thought malls in turkey would not be spectacular and there would have nothing I would like to buy. 2. Never thought I would be able to find an Adidas Alpha-edge 4D shoes over there. But I did find it and bought a pair of it. They are on big sale and I bought it with huge discount. Authentic Adidas shoes by the way. 3. The mall is pretty modern and feel very safe over there. 4. Definitely recommend you to visit there if you want to buy something.
