Izmir Grand Tour: Iconic Clock, Vibrant Bazaar & Bay Views

The tower itself is a very simple but beautiful tower especially if you go in the afternoon when the sun is setting. the bad thing is that around the tower it's usually super crowded.

Crazy big bazaar…..very very easy to get lost. Make sure you set a meeting point at the clock tower and hopefully you can find it. Too many tourist shops for my taste - but a lot of local food markets. Great place to take pictures. We went at the end of the day when people were leaving work and heading to the markets.

Bazaar, clock tower, view of city. Wonderful lunch spot. Also bought carpet. Could nor go on ferry due to windy conditions, which was fine

Reassuringly The Guides really were excellent in every way welcoming,friendly,extremely helpful,informative,doing their upmost in catering for every wish & desire! You have to visit Izmir.i'd put it right at the top of your Turkish itinerary. A must do.don't pass by this opportunity if you can.you'll savour this beautiful city & its wonderful people.the sights,tastes,sounds & smells will captivate you.the iskender OR bursa kebab lunch was so delicious & my Partner even had a chicken curry at the same restaurant we stopped off at in Izmir which was so appetising full of fresh ingredients! you can even see some of the cooking being done right in front of your very eyes.there's a fair bit of walking involved but well worth it if you're able to manage it.the ferry ride to the other side of Izmir is so delightful.the Male Market Sellers are a bit of a pest though.it feels like every one is trying to persuade you into their business to spend your cash but hey that's part of the Turkey experience.keep moving on & it's fine.wallow in the splendour of one of Turkeys most fab cities Date of experience: May 2022

We were so happy with our tour , our tour guide was so amazing and so helpful. Their English was so good . We enjoyed our tour alot.

Although it is not a gigantic structure and seems to be a very simple structure. It is very accessible Close to the city center and pier hence shouldn’t be missed.

The square is a symbol of the city of Izmir. The surrounding area is a gathering place for people. Its proximity to the sea has made it an attractive destination for tourists.

During the summer I don't advise anyone to visit this clock tower area because it's very hot. For night times you can go there and view around. My honest view is nothing much to see there. This tower is surrounded by official buildings. Instead of this area just keep walking on the backside of the tower and go have a coffee at Kizlaragasi Hani. Again saying during the summer don't visit this area when the sun is shining. The only best side of this place is it has a ferry station ( named Konak iskele ) nearby and it will connect you to the other side of the sea ( Karsiyaka ).

It is a large square where a tower with a clock dominates in the middle of it. The square is called Konac Square and is located near the Kemeralti bazaar. The square is the busiest part of the city and a starting point for getting to know the city. In the square there is also a small mosque of Konac as it is called. In the square there is also a building that was the old Command Hall where the Greek flag was raised in "22 when the Greek army arrived

To make a stop on a circuit, a meal, a night, before or after the visit of Ephesus, but not essential. The Turks are proud of their trick, but for a tourist, it has no sentimental value.
