I came here with a friend who lives in Izmir as part of a day’s site seeing. The imposing statue of Kemal Atatürk overlooks a massive public square and the ocean. My friend explained the significance of the statue and the liberation of Izmir from the occupying forces during WWI. I can see the cultural and historical importance of such a statue in a such a public space. It is very moving. Close by are many cafes and fine dining restaurants on the concourse also facing the ocean. There is also a very nice art gallery 5 minutes walk away that is about to have a great Picasso exhibition.
