This place is huge. One can find anything from printing service to suits and souvenirs. Of course there are a lot of restaurants and cafes. There is no need to visit every corner of it. Maybe just casually stroll and see where one is lead to.

Beautiful place, lots of stores to buy just about anything. Some are cheap and others expensive. Cool experience seeing the historical building and having a tasty Turkish coffee in the middle of the market. It’s closed on sundays. Free to walk around

AMAZING PRODUCTS+GOLDSHOPS🔥 BUT you must be careful… some shops are shady and try to sell you 8k as 14k gold❗️ I tell u what to watch out for!⬇️ The ones on the PICTURES ARE TRUSTWORTHY & HONEST PEOPLE🙏 offering AMAZING PRICES and sell REAL 14k GOLD👌 u can TRUST THEM🩷 My FAVOURITE shop is HALIS&ORHAN i bought nearly all of my jewelery from them.

I solved it by cross testing a lot of shops, 😉 these down always gave me good products 🥰⬇️ Have fun🩷 hope my information helps you🙏

A great place to walk around. We tried the mussels and rice. They were excellent. We also did the pickle juice which was also excellent. Lots and lots of interesting shops.

Unique bazaar as there is no goods and shops for tourists. Most of famous bazaar in Turkey is full of shops for tourist with expensive price. But here, most of customers are Izmir people. I like this bazaar. Merchants are friendly and kind! Visit here and feel some authentic turkey bazaar vibe!

The best part of our trip was a visit to the bazaar. It is massive and full of interesting shops. Wear comfortable clothing and shoes. Be mindful of the middle men and prices can be high. Plenty of places to eat. Take time and make a day of it

Kemeralti bazaar is quite a busy place. You can find hundreds of things to buy from there as the prices are reasonably low. Make sure you have enough space in your suitcase before visiting the bazaar because there are too many souvenirs to buy. There are beautiful bags with Turkish embroidery patterns and praying beads and countless teas and coffees. There are numerous cafes to have a quick bite but they are all super busy. This bazaar is a must visit place.

Cool concept and interesting that it was designed by Eiffel but it was a bit of a let down since it was not air conditioned in the main mall hallway so stifling hot (100+F day) and the only access to the waterfront was through restaurants. Many shops are vacant but the clothing ones seemed very nice.

I stepped here thinking that I will get a ticket for boat. However its something else. Visiting Konak Pier was one of those experiences that perfectly combined history, sea views, and modern comfort. I loved how this historic building — originally designed by Gustave Eiffel — has been transformed into a chic waterfront mall. As soon as I stepped in, the blend of iron arches, glass ceilings, and sea breeze gave it a unique charm. You don’t feel like you’re in a typical shopping mall — it feels more like a stylish coastal arcade. I spent 20 min here browsing the small but elegant mix of shops, grabbing a latte at one of the cafés overlooking the Aegean. There are multiple cosmetic shops, many restaurants, and movie theatre. All movies were in Turkish, so I didnt plan to experience watching movie here. The restaurants here — especially those with outdoor terraces — serve good food variety with unbeatable views. Prices are slightly higher than in the city center, but the ambiance makes up for it. There is KFC also inside. At a corner you will find museum of illusion. It’s a perfect place to shop a little, eat slowly, and unwind by the sea.

Konak Pier is a shopping and dining center located in a historic building overlooking the ruins of the old port. The place has been beautifully transformed into a charming tourist destination that houses restaurants and commercial markets.

We visited the pier to access a restaurant, so I'm not sure what to actually give the pier as a score. Mark, part of our party, has challenged my 5-star reviews, so I'm awarding 4-stars. Very good wc, and you can walk to the far end to look out over the sea. Lovely views. A useful flyover walkway takes you back over the main coastal road to town.

I loved the place and was amazed by its history and interior, I love the idea of that the stores inside kept the original design and its history as it is believed that the building was built by Gustave Eiffel. They have the best starbucks with the amazing view of the sea

Pier designed by Gustave Eiffel, now a large indoor mall with some nice open-air terraces. The space itself is well-designed. There are some nice restaurants within, as well as some fast good options like Burger King and KFC. However, many of the interior stores, and even some of the exterior stores are currently closed making for a pretty underwhelming experience to walk around in. Nonetheless, you can get magnificent views of the sunset from here!

Great location. Close to the metro station and just a few minutes walk from the centre of Izmir. Nice boutique style shops and a great selection of restaurants, everything from seafood to burger! Worth a visit!

Lovely place! The view is something — for two lira, you can use the super cool binoculars, and the restaurant / bar seems to be owned by the government so prices are rather accessible. The little basket of fried things we ordered was not good, but having a cold beer under the hot Aegean sun overlooking tone water like that is not to be missed. We went down via the stairs and up via the Elevator — one can really understand why it was built 😅

A View of Izmir You Can’t Miss! Asansör is one of Izmir’s most unique and charming landmarks. Built in 1907 to connect two neighborhoods separated by a steep hill, it was originally a practical solution for residents—but today it’s become a must-visit attraction. The restored elevator takes you up effortlessly, and within seconds you’re rewarded with spectacular panoramic views of Izmir, the coastline, and the Aegean Sea. At the top, there’s a lovely terrace where you can enjoy a coffee or meal while soaking in the scenery, especially magical at sunset when the city lights begin to sparkle. The surrounding neighborhood, Dario Moreno Street, adds even more charm with its colorful houses, quaint cafés, and lively yet cozy atmosphere. Asansör is more than just an elevator—it’s a blend of history, culture, and stunning vistas all in one spot. A perfect stop to experience Izmir’s beauty from above. 🌟 Travel Tip: Go in the late afternoon, stay for sunset, and then explore the nearby streets for a truly memorable evening.

The İzmir Historical Elevator Building is a charming heritage landmark offering stunning panoramic views of the city and coastline. With its ornate architecture and nostalgic charm, it provides both locals and tourists a unique experience. Easy to access, well-maintained, and worth a visit.

More than a century history with the sponsor by a philanthropist. It has become a hotspot among tourists. The lift is free to use and it has a nice view from the stairs to the Aegean Sea. The cafe on top is a good place to sit and relax.

Amazing Must visit place. SOO GOOD. And nothing to pay. Free to use. Views are amazing.

Truly amazing place! Probably top 1 in Izmir to Visit! Go early morning and you will enjoy even more! Be prepared for huge parking issue.

Nice to see and the ride is free . On top a Nice xe terrace with a great view

Visiting Izmir Wildlife Park felt like stepping into a vast forest full of life! The park is incredibly large, home to all kinds of animals from around the world, living in spacious, natural environments. I spent around three hours exploring different areas, walking through beautiful green landscapes and capturing amazing photos. From majestic lions to playful monkeys, colorful birds, and even exotic reptiles, every corner had something fascinating to see. The peaceful atmosphere and the sound of nature made the experience even more special. If you love wildlife and enjoy being surrounded by nature, Izmir Wildlife Park is a must-visit! It’s the perfect place to relax, learn about animals, and take stunning photos.

A large and interesting zoo. Very easy payment system (no need to stand in a huge queue for a ticket). Beautiful well-kept territory, large enclosures for animals. Great variety (tigers, lions, hippos, zebras, elephants, giraffes, crocodiles, snakes, parrots and much more). Lots of information about animals. A very playful and charming elephant. Peacocks and other charming animals can meet freely on the territory. I would like the toilets to be cleaner. Planes fly over the zoo very often, as a visitor it is very noisy, I don’t know about the animals... apparently they are used to such noise. There are trash cans everywhere, but people do not see them and throw trash on the territory, I suggest to fine such people.

The zoo is very good, it has so many different animals, with many peacocks that you can see randomly around the park. It also has a nice restaurant that isn't very overpriced and is good to grab a snack. It's very recommended to have a cap when it's sunny as there isn't a lot of shade on the routes there.

The animals are in a huge area, there are many different kinds of animals. There are also several playgrounds for children, which I think is a very good idea. The entrance fee was 80 lira, but I think it's free for children under 6. We loved it.

It was nice but small 30 min max compare to zoo price was too expensive and trying to scam on website cheaper than normal

I don't know why, but before visiting here I didn't have high hopes for it. It completely shocked me. One of the best wildlife parks/zoos I've ever been to. Stunning surroundings with natural nature and green trees. The animals were all well looked after and had plenty of space as thought they were in their natural habitats. Very well kept and clean. Plenty of toilets situated around the park. 2 cafes to stop for a drink or bite to eat. Would definitely come back again and would recommend to all ages. We had an amazing day out here. 10/10 Adults 20 lira children 10 lira

Quite a nice park, well planned and large varieties of animals. Entrance is relatively cheap as well (30 TL in July 2024). Perhaps summer is not the best time to visit, as the heat was draining and animals were tired and sticking to shady areas. Some of the pens were empty and/or mislabelled. Cafe had good icecream and ready availability of packaged water/drinks. Had no problems finding a taxi from Izmir City Centre to here and back using Uber.

The closing hour is said to be 17:30 but it was 17:15, so I recommend going slightly earlier. Muzekart is valid and for foreigners it is 4€. It is a bit unorganised inside since there is not a trail you can follow so you have to go zigzagging. Also the lighting was kind of insufficient as well as some explanations. I think you should visit but it is not crucial.

For Tourists 🚨 Lowkey a waste of time. Why? Lack of informational descriptions are overwhelming. You just see bunch of pots and pans (yeah cool) but headless statues have little to no information. The building is old and unkept. There were cool mosaics and a little bit of cool pieces but it lacks architectural design and information. How can a city this old and historically rich can have a museum that has no investments? Listen to my advise you can skip this and go to the other İzmir Tarih ve Sanat Müzesi Türkçe: Devletin acilen el atması lazım. Vakit kaybı. Gidilmez.

The exhibition is small but entertaining. This museum tells about all the stages of the formation of this city during different eras (Greek, Roman, Ottoman, and so on). The collection of coins and statues is especially beautiful. There are practically no people, so you can visit the museum without queues. The ticket is sold on the spot and costs little. The staff is friendly. If you need to leave things, there are storage rooms for this.

Don’t listen to the “low-key” Americanized complainer. People who are easily bored are boring. People who see the unkempt rather than the wonders are…less than wonderful. Lack of information, she says. This is the Information Age. A little research on one’s own never killed anybody. I’ve loved and returned to both this museum and other smaller ones in the region and they inspired a dissertation, a novel, and several paintings out of me. I’ve been to museums in Italy and they all gave me a neck ache, from looking several feet up in gilded cathedrals, but true to İzmir’s character, the artifacts meet you eye to eye and need no gilded anything. Low-key…what? A shopping mall is low-key x, y, z. This museum is so full of beauty and raises enough questions to leave me in bliss. Totally worth it. I’d take this over any Smithsonian any day.

So much to see and learn the ancient history of Izmir area 👍✅❤️ I appreciate all exhibitions here. When we were here, it was very quiet as not many tourists. We went through each room. I particularly love the ancient coins 😉. The entrance fee is very affordable. At the exit (same as entrance), the souvenir machine offers very cheap museum gifts.

Small but very nice museum. It has a good collection of artifacts from the area, and everything is well organized. It doesn’t take much time to visit, but it’s definitely worth seeing if you're interested in history or archaeology.

This museum has moved - I understand the previous site is close to the main bazaar in Izmir and is still open but that this complex only opened about the second week of May, 2023. I unfortunately do not have the exact address but it is near the Alcansak train station, on the east side of the same street as the train station but approximately one block south. There is a sign by the main gate but it is not very visible from the sidewalk. Admission was free when we attended. The museum is well worth a visit. It has some pretty amazing sarcophagi, ancient Greek carvings, and numerous other exhibits; the photos below provide a very small indication of the collections. I presume because the museum is new some of the explanations of the exhibits are not yet in place, and some of the items are not marked; however, we easily spent three hours in the complex, and serious archeological buffs could I presume spend considerably longer. There are some exhibits which I believe would be interesting for children.

It would be amazing if the citadel would be remade and taken care of. Right now, it's like an open air museum, but you cannot not notice the amount of rubbish that exists hidden here, when you look more closely, you will see that most of the walls right now are closed(climbing on them is forbidden at least, so you can't actually go and take a panoramic picture of Izmir) and there is an open market (grocery store) inside the antic citadel.

The place itself is great. It needs a massive tidy up Rubbish everywhere. The castle walls on top have rubbish. There is dry long grass ,fire hazzard. The cistern has rubbish inside it . All needs a major clean thru. I love the antiquity of it and it's a shame the local authority don't get this organized.

cool area to visit but sadly the grounds are not well maintained and there is a lack of signposting to the history. Great views down to the city and sea.

Place could have been preserved better. It is pretty historic but it is very neglected. There is graffiti everywhere, garbage and dilapidated buildings nearby. Not to mention that you have to navigate narrow streets to get up there. If you have enough time to spare, visit this place, otherwise you can skip.

Nice castle with some towers, it’s hard to climb through the suburbs, it’s like labyrinth, but it’s worth it. The view is amazing. The entrance was free.

We actually went because we wanted to see the city of Izmir from the top of the Mount. The area is not well maintained, which is a shame it could be a great spot for some small Cafés along the outside streets and people could sit for hours looking over the city. Instead, you see broken glass everywhere, uncut grass, broke railings etc. If I was Turkish and from Izmir I would be embarrassed. That being said I still would recommend going up by bus, it's quite a ride. We then walked downhill through some of the neighborhood to a bus stop to go elsewhere. The area is quite poor and if this castle was actually cared for it could provide much needed economic development. There was just us and maybe 6 other people. I hope the local government jumps in and really makes this spot a tourist spot. It could be amazing. I hope my review helps other to try out the spot if fir anything the amazing view of the city of Izmir and the Gulf of Izmir.

Kadifekale offers a unique blend of history and panoramic views over İzmir. While the castle ruins themselves are modest, the hilltop location makes it worth the visit—especially around sunset. You can see the city, coastline, and even Mount Sipylus on clear days. The area has been undergoing restoration, but still retains a raw, authentic charm. It’s best to go during daylight hours and ideally not alone, as some parts feel a bit neglected. Entry is free. Combine your visit with a short walk through the historic neighborhoods nearby. Great spot for photographers and those seeking a quiet break from the city.

I don't know what you expected from a mosque. All of them in Turkey are beautiful. This mosque is located in the old bazaar in Izmir, and you can enjoy the old vibes too.🕌🇹🇷 #mosque #izmir #travel #beautiful #architecture #history #culture

A must see place in the heart of Didim. A historical structure. Formerly a Church, today a mosque.

Lots of antique boutiques inside , nice cafe bar with cheap price

One of the nice-est religious places in izmir downtown (masjid/mosque) located in Kemeraltı

I was told it is the biggest mosque in Izmir and I am interested in ottoman history and architecture I went there during Maghreb prayer in a hot summer evening It is fantastic from inside and outside

Hisar Mosque (Hisar Camii) is a masterpiece of Architecture and a Superlative place for Ibadah and peace finding

If you like to see people who are shopping and laughing and drinking tea, go to Izmir old bazaar, full of colors and full of live

Alexander Calder’s sculpture on İzmir’s First Kordon is a striking addition to the city’s waterfront, blending dynamic movement with monumental presence. True to Calder’s signature style, the piece features a bold, abstract form with delicate, suspended elements that sway with the wind, creating a mesmerizing interplay of balance and motion. Its organic curves and sharp angles echo both natural and mechanical influences, standing as a testament to Calder’s mastery of kinetic art. Positioned against the backdrop of the Aegean Sea, the sculpture transforms with the shifting light and breeze, making it not just a static monument but a living part of the landscape. This installation enriches İzmir’s cultural fabric, offering both locals and visitors a contemplative and ever-changing visual experience.

Here is the first place i visited during my first visit in İzmir city. This beach in İzmir is a true gem! The crystal-clear turquoise water, soft golden sand, and stunning views make it a perfect spot to relax and enjoy nature. The beach is well-maintained. There is an amazing place to walk along the beach and enjoy the fantastic view. The surrounding area offers a great selection of cafes and restaurants serving delicious local dishes and refreshing drinks. Parking is convenient, and the access to the beach is well-marked and easy to navigate. I saw many people had come to fish. It’s an ideal place for families, couples, and even solo travelers looking for a serene escape. Highly recommend visiting during weekdays to avoid crowds and fully enjoy the tranquility. Can't wait to return! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Beautiful promenade for after-dinner strolls, full of lights from the shops.

Nice park to walk along the water.

Nice place to get rid of the stressing city life. People needs to be more careful to keep around and the ocean clean

The weather and walking area of the place we came from was perfect. The air is very clean and the people are very kind. I hope we can come here again on our next holiday :)

The place so good to walk at , u will get surprised how the vibes changes in the night from the morning 😂😂 but I loved it and the weather was good so that an extra point

Listed in the Michelin guide and one of the most famous restaurants in the city, you can find tasty grilled meats here and lots of delicious sides. Ambience is excellent too.

Beautiful food and the warmest Turkish hospitality! The lamb was unforgettable, so tender it melts in your mouth. The restaurant has such a lovely vibe, especially around golden hour. We walked in on a Sunday evening without a reservation and were seated with no problem. Just a heads up, the menu doesn’t show prices. P.S.: The picture shows Recep Usta Sarma Kebab, which also extremly savory

Definitely the best restaurant I’ve been so far in Izmir. The one, that makes you think: why should I dine somewhere else? The food is excellent! Although some members of the staff speak only Turkish, the are always very kind and are supported by their colleagues. Unfortunately this time I forgot to make the picture of the food, but I can assure you that it was worth coming in.

Really enjoyed having dinner here’s superb service, top quality food, cosy dining vibe and decent deco on the wall. Truly michelle star restaurant!

Although I don’t like the taste of the “kuyruk yağı”( smelly animal fat) they use for multiple menu options including their complimentary eggplant dolma and içli köfte, they absolutely deserve to be Michelin star restaurant! Thanks for great experience!

Great food, but quite expensive! They bring you a bunch of complimentary starters and dessert - we liked the spread but it may not be to everyone’s liking. It is absolutely massive and packed, and the staff do their best to keep up. Not a big fan of all the cats roaming around, given that this is quite a high end restaurant.

Very popular, nice place. Food is overrated. Not special. So you pay for atmosphere. The meat on my plate was chewy, nothing special. Ordered some other dishes for sharing no special taste. Just regular from sensory experience.

Went there because of their reviews, worth it, especially their calamari was very fresh, their meze was fresh too. The only issue was their bread, would expect a newly baked bread. The staff are very attentive and the atmosphere is nice for an hour or two.

I have searched for the best fish restaurants in Izmir and this restaurant kept showing on top list so i gave it a try. To be honest the food in Izmir is more expensive than Istanbul we paid almost 150$ for 2 adults 2 kids and we left hungry. They only had 3-4 types of fish to choose from for a fish restaurant. Many varieties on the menu we asked for they said they did not have. A common thing among restaurants in Izmir is that they charge for couvre ( which is basically the use of utensils and plates) such a weird concept in my opinion and never seen it before. Would not recommend it for sure.

İzmir Sea View Restaurant / If you're looking for a seafood restaurant with a stunning view, İzmir Deniz Restaurant stands out as one of the most beautifully located spots along the İzmir coastline. Especially at sunset, the sea glows in golden hues, creating a perfect setting for a romantic meal or a peaceful dinner with friends. The restaurant offers a refined ambiance and is popular among locals—always a good sign of authenticity. The service was attentive, and the environment was calm and sophisticated. While the sunset view is truly unforgettable and the setting feels upscale, there were some aspects that felt slightly underwhelming considering the price point. #IzmirSeaView #DenizRestaurant #SunsetDinner

I saw this place from a famous YouTuber video, as a tourist in Izmir I wanted to get a taste of Ege cuisine and Im glad I came to this restaurant the food quality and options were great and thanks to everyone in kitchen, however there are some things that really piss me off, first thing was Service, it was slow and highly biased, there were hidden charges which Are Illegal in Turkey like servis fee and charging 200+(7$)for just bringing water and plain bread, overall; the place the food and the atmosphere were great but at this price point and with all these added costs I recommend another place.

DO NOT EAT HERE The most disrespectful experience we have ever had. They bring several items to the table, which you do not order at the start, don’t communicate what they are for or that they are part of some “surcharge” they will apply to the bill at the end of your dinner, which is claimed to be “water, bread, olive” charge. We did not consume any of the items places on our table. We then didn’t have one of our meals delivered at all, but they put it on our bill, and service was woefully slow and I had to get up and pour my own wine. They didn’t even apologise for not bringing a meal to us but still tried to charge us for it. We questioned the charges at the end, which is where we were told about the “bread, olive, water” charge and for the meal we didn’t even receive. The waiters argued with us about the extra charge and wouldn’t let us pay until we paid it. This is appalling service for a restaurant with the reviews it has, and for somewhere our hotel recommended us to visit.

Honestly one of the worst dining experiences I’ve had in a long time. The food was bland, poorly cooked, and felt like zero care went into it. For the prices they charge, the quality is shocking. There are far better places nearby; save your time and money and go elsewhere.Hands down one of the worst dining experiences I’ve ever had. We paid nearly 17000 lira for food that was bland, poorly cooked, and served with zero care. The service was slow and dismissive, like we were inconveniencing them by even being there. For that kind of money, you’d expect quality, but instead it felt like a complete scam

Me and my friend, 2 people , we ordered only 1 fish and 1 original rice, almost 3000 lira. Food is fine. But they charge us 250 lira parking fee. We parked on the street, but restaurant charges us parking fee , really unreasonable.

Cool place, nice atmosphere. I ate lasagna, it was average not very good but still tasty. The soup was also nice but the tomato soup is not in turkish style but more like Italian kind. Pizzas were good. They offered us three lovely shots at the end which was very kind 🙋🏽‍♂️ also, it is a bit expensive but very chic inside! 🤓

I had an amazing pasta with fresh ingredients 🫠 My friends had pizza also very delicious, not heavy and a great portion for one person. 😍

It was my second time at this pizzeria, surprisingly for Turkey, it didn’t get spoiled, even got better in my opinion. Prices are quite reasonable for this place, I really recommend trüflü burrata (my fav from now on). It was my birthday, and I didn’t like the place we chose (it was La Cigale), the staff at Venedik was very agreeable and welcoming, they even could speak English (though there was no need). The pizzeria was actually crowded, but we were sitting in a separate hall alone with my husband (gave me another special vibe). I was truly full, hopefully, I’ll try your dessert next time✨

This place is divine! Food was amazing my husband had x2 risotto and I had the Ragu, our waiter was friendly and helpful and spoke English well. The atmosphere was a sweet romantic setting, beautiful music playing Highly recommend Ristorante Pizzeria Venedik

A Michelin-listed pizza joint in the heart of İzmir. Hot, piping pizza filled to the edge with toppings is served in a casual, Italian atmosphere.

Place where you can feel real Italian vibe. Pasta is really good, but carbonara was a little bit salty, recommend to ask for pepper. Pizza has thin, soft, tender dough. Fresh greens, good wine. Caramel dessert was not satisfying. Prices are also high (490₺ for cheese wheel). Service is little bit slowly and suspended. You every time need to attract attention of waiters. Staff speaks English a little.

Be careful! It was okay. Nice staff and atmosfeer, the vegetarian tortellini was tasteful but a bit small. The only thing that really annoyed us that they didn't tell us the bread had to be paid: they just put it on our table but didn't bother to tell us we were going to get charged for it. This is cheating.

Staff is great although food could have an improvement. It doesn’t match with the price paid and I felt like in Switzerland. The service however, on a very positive note is incredible and they’re very friendly.

Without a doubt this place is a very nice place to chill, connect with people, and soak in the Izmir vibes. Food was just ok. Shrimps on avocado - the avocado was a bit ripe for my liking and lacked in salt. Lamb shank was good. The fried seafood overall was mediocre because frozen seafood were used for the preparation. It's European prices hence the harsher comments. The faultless part was the service - courteous staff despite our language barriers. At the end of the dinner, a generous serving of fruit was offered. 3 stars based on the food we ordered.

North Pier offers an exquisite dining experience with sophisticated flavors and impeccable presentation. The ambiance is elegant and intimate, perfect for a special night out. Highlights included a perfectly cooked seabass with almond flakes in a citrus sauce and tender gnocchi in a rich red sauce. The mocktail were visually stunning and delicious. Service was attentive and knowledgeable. Highly recommended for those seeking a refined culinary experience. Rating: ★★★★★ (5/5)

The food was just ok (also served cold), nothing special for the money you pay. Tip is basically mandatory (10%) and there is also a cover per person (60 try). Quite expensive for Izmir. Conclusion: overrated.

Amazing taste! Amazing people of high value. All workes better than the other ones to support you in your wishes. Special orders, which are out of Menu's, are not a problem. Just come and enjoy a night of dinner and smooth to their bar. All of it, of course, with a see view. Ne mutlu Türk'üm diyene!!!

excellent location next to the sea. U can watch the seagulls, feed them ,even , the fish and the city. Kind staff and nice food. My hot chocolate was a bit thicker than it should have been but it's alright.

We ordered mixed seafood plate with fried seafood. It was a usual taste with average design. Price and tip was much higher than the good and service

Good pizza, cold beer - that we had to pour ourselves, strange with so many servers hovering around. Got charged for a bottle of premium water that we didn’t request. But it was a really good pizza!!

Main thing- food was delicious! Beautiful interior. Management, if you read this, tell your staff that if they bring anything to the table that has to be charged- they have to let customers know about it (in our case, waiter poured water without asking us and then I found water in a bill). Then plz, we have chosen your afternoon tea but the price is not mentioned in a menu. We asked how much is it and waiter or a manager (guy was in a blue suit) said “let me check it”. Seriously… staff doesn’t know the prices of your lunch offer? And BTW he said it is 900 but in a bill it is 950. When the other waiter came to us and we said that we want to have afternoon tea, he said “ok! With 2 Prosecco”. But we told him plz bring the aperol, and his face was like he has never heard about even the existence of Aperol spritz. You have service charge by default included in a bill. Why? I didn’t want to leave this amount of tips. When I asked if it is possible to remove it the answer was “sorry it is already included to the whole bill”.

The seafood spaghetti was just bad. The pasta texture is not al dente at all, very mushy. It was also lack of taste. The amount of seafood was very little for 4xx ₺ It was my first time eating here and got already bad impression. The other dish was ok but the pasta was too thick.

the food was great, however medium meat was cooked well done, now i definitely know in Turkey i have to say rare to get medium, also the meat was cooked unevenly, they should tie a string to prevent that. Otherwise, one of the better restaurants I have been to in Turkey, the service is spectacular. Definitely should order the Tiramisu and Risotto was also cooked to perfection.

Loved it, food was excellent, drinks came a little late, service was exquisite! They didn't speak English though. Pricey for what it is.. but the taste and service honestly do justify the price. I've been looking for a classy Italian restaurant in Izmir for quite some time. Loved it!

Was looking for Italian options in Izmir and came across this one. Offers wide selection of food and drinks. Taste wise it was just fine. Staff was attentive but felt like over friendly as they tried to offer things without asking which was rude in my opinion. Overall atmosphere was okay but lacked Italian flare. Clean toilets available downstairs.

Really good Italian food, pretty big portions of salad and not so much of pasta, so I can recommend that collab. Good varieties of wine. Recommend to reserve a table, but need to call, they read WhatsApp rarely. Waiters speak English.

Got to this restaurant.. the setting is abit fancier compared to other nearby cafe/restaurant. The food exceeded our expectations, we ordered the sea bass and grilled octopus. They absolutely surprised us. The house wine couldn’t be lovelier pairing for the seafood 😍

My best meals in Izmir for the trip were here. Grilled sea bass was fresh and tasty, their seasonal salad featured greens at their best, and the grilled octopus was simply sublime. We also had a bunch of other amazing side dishes such as the Fava broad bean pate, and believe it or not, they served the best grilled chicken I’ve had in Türkiye. Not bad for a seafood restaurant! They also serve good local wine

Great, inviting restaurant. On waterfront. Good menu - seafood, red meat, chicken, salads, mezze, cold beer and decent wine options. Service was efficient and friendly. Ordered mezze - Fava (Broad bean pate) delicious, with dill, red onion. Mains: Crispy calamari (tender, but very very small sized pieces even as an entree) came with aioli yoghurt, Izgara Köfte (grilled meatballs) served with grilled tomato, pepper, rice, onion, fries - meat was tender. Mixed salad with feta: very minty, tomatoes, lettuce, cucumber - no feta???? but shaved cheese on top???? and an overload on red onion. Settled bill via credit card 3,300 TL, including bottle of white wine and water.

We had an amazing experience here! Delicious food, the price was totally fair, the staff were incredibly friendly and attentive, and the atmosphere was welcome and cozy. After trying a couple of places in the region, we found this restaurant, fall in love with it and came our last 4 days in a row. We definitely recommend this restaurant!

Great place to eat while watching the sunset. The food surprised me in a good way, the octopus I took was delicious. Staff is kind and friendly as well. I definitely recommend if you want to try good seafood specialties!

Lovely seaside atmosphere. It has cozy indoor and outdoor seating. The seafood is amazing. We tried the shrimp tortellini, çobin salad, fish side dish, and grilled sea bass. All these dishes are highly recommended 👌

This was the only evening we had time for dinner and we sought Google Maps for a restaurant near our hotel. İzmir Sakız Alsancak Restaurant was the choice we did and were happy with our choice. We sat outside despite cold and wind, but they turned the heater on, so it was fine. There were few people in the restaurant, but later more people arrived. We had 5 dishes and 3salads some drinks and a bottle of wine. We enjoyed the dinner, especially the fish that I already missed. The service was fast and they were very polite. However, at the end we had unpleasant situation that spoiled the visit. They gave us the bill for 150USD, but when we decided to pay with card, I gave it to my daughter and she went to pay, they charged us additional 10%... As an Uzbekistan citizen I got used to this stuped way of business as the government by making bad laws makes people break the rule. So when I visit abroad I can relax as people do not try to cheat you this way…Anyway, what happened has happened, The restaurant is good, just pay with cash and you will have no negative emotions )

It's hard eating out when you don't speak the language. The first time I had two fish, they were fried and the chef was eager to please. The second time I went, I didn't see the chef, the single fish was grilled.. I had a salad the second time and a glass of wine. The wait staff, wasn't too efficient. But such is life.

I was there with my closest friends and family a few nights before my wedding. We all loved the food and the service, and I’d definitely come again!

A cozy place to enjoy great food and evening. Food and Meze's were really tasty and reasonably priced. We really enjoyed the Levrek Sish Kebab. Volcano dessert did really top off the amazing atmosphere.

The waiter is very impatient and doesn't speak English

Best food in Kelowna.

Fresh food, nice cozy atmosphere.

Delicious but over priced..

Delicious meze. Small restaurant with few tables. Cosy atmosphere. We like it there.

Super delicious food. Great value for the price.

Compliments to the chef. Its perfect

The Best t-bone in town.

Nefissss

(Translated by Google) Damla Restaurant is a charming little local tavern that has been open for years. We had the opportunity to try it, but the rakı was poured from an open bottle into a carafe without our knowledge. We ordered a salad and it was forgotten. Unfortunately, the appetizers weren't very tasty; some were served on small plates and others on large ones. Unfortunately, we weren't very pleased. (Original) damla restoran yıllardır açık olan küçük sevimli bir lokal meyhanedir. Deneme fırsatımız oldu ancak rakının açık şişeden karafa konması bize sormadan gerçekleştirikdi ve iaşordık salata söyledik unutuldu mezeler ne yazıkki çok lezzetli değildi kimi küçük tabakta kimi büyük tabakta servis edildi ne yazıkki çok memnun kalmadık

(Translated by Google) I was excited to find a local place with no music in the heart of Alsancak but unfortunately :( I gave it a chance twice but it is not going away, the food is too salty, I was going to ask if they would keep it if it was 35 lira left, but before I could finish my words I was told no, with a rude attitude, cl probably didn't like it🤣 Also I think the owner of this business has a certain group of core guests or guests, it's as if he doesn't want anyone else in the place 🙃 The service and attention are so bad, there are already 10 tables but there aren't any, I don't understand why this is happening to a beautiful place, funny :) (Original) Alsancağın göbeğinde local ve müziksiz yer bulmak beni heycanlandırmıştı ama maalesef :( 2 kez şans verdim, ancak yok olmuyor,yemekler aşırı tuzlu,35lik kalırsa muhafaza edermisiniz diyecektim lafım bitmeden, yok dendi, kaba bir tavırla,cl beğenmedi heralde🤣 birde bu işletme sahibinin sanırım belli bir kemik zümresi ya da misafirleri var onlardan başkasını istemiyor sanki mekana 🙃 servis ve ilgi öyle kötü,zaten toplasan 10 masa var yok neden güzelim mekana bu yapılıyor anlamadım,komik:)

Today we went to this kumru place in Izmir and placed our orders. Unfortunately, our experience was quite bad. The waiter was unhappy, the kitchen staff were unhappy. Our orders kept coming wrong one after another. The ones we asked for without tomatoes came with tomatoes. We asked for a baked potato with butter, but it came without butter. We called the manager to complain, but they didn’t believe us. I really don’t understand this kind of business mentality. In the end, we left the place without eating our orders. What a shame. I don’t know what kind of understanding of customer satisfaction this is. I definitely do not recommend it.

If you want play Okey or Backgamoun or eat İzmir unique sandwich "Kumru" or Kumpir or wants Hooka 24/7 , choose this resturant. They will serve Havuc Dundurma (Iranian special drink) if you want 😉

The waiter that served us today was really welcoming, we do not speak Turkish, however, this was not a barrier. The waiter made his best efforts to communicate. Amazing food!

Nice place to visit. Food is good, but maybe a little bit more flavour to make it really good. Service is good and helpful. The view from the terrace is beautiful, that’s why i came here to eat and drink.

We ordered kumpir and it was delicious. Unfortunately the service was poor

That was so good, nice taste,good service and clean

Foreign credit or bank cards dont work, you will have to pay cash if you dont own a Turkish credit card. Staff were not necessarily mean but they are definitely not nice either. They were sulking every time I visited here, so its definitely not that they were all having a bad day. Prices are higher compared to the other places around. Food tastes alright, but even a toast takes a long while to be ready.

The view is nice, but it could get kinda hot out there, so it's not actually a good thing that could make you enjoy your meal. The cheddar sauce on the burger was a bit too heavy, and there wasn't very much meat in it, and the salad was rather hard to cut than crunchy. The waiter was nice though, so it was an ok experience.

The place is beautiful, with incredible views. But Ahmed and the service, for me, get my five stars. The treatment was very humane, kind, and attentive, with attention to every detail. Without a doubt, everything made my stay here a very rewarding experience. I recommend it; I'll definitely be back.

First time visiting Izmir and this restaurant left us so impressed, We celebrated my mother’s birthday and everything was amazing, the food, the ambiance, the view. Our server is one of the best servers we have ever encountered. 100% recommended!

I was on of the best experience. place is too good for dinner. Tried beef steak it was 9/10. Excellent experience overall. High recommended.

One of the best places ever in Izmir beside the sea to forget the daily stress and enjoy the time from the best side of life. Specially when your host, Mejit accompanies you through the evening. He is not only the perfect host, he is also a gentleman par excellence. Many thanks for your hospitality.

Excellent service! Food is out of this world I recommend the octopus carpaccio, seafood risotto and ask for Mecit he is a great server and very knowledgeable of all the food and Wines I defenderla come back again here

We loved the bar. Good drinks and perfect service. We did go there twice during our three days stay in Izmir. Lover to go there.

Izmir Adnan Menderes Airport’s domestic terminal is modern, clean, and easy to navigate. It’s not too big, so getting through security and to your gate is usually quick and hassle-free. Didn’t have to wait too long for my luggage either when I got here via my domestic flight. There are a decent number of cafés and shops, though food options can be a bit limited compared to larger airports. Seating is comfortable, and there are charging points available, making it a good place to wait for your flight. Overall, it’s a well-organized airport with a smooth travel experience, especially for domestic flights.

Big and modern. two problems: 1. the passport control section has become slow with long lines 2. the parking is confusing and not spacious enough

It is a quiet and clean airport, with very relaxed vibes here. Not crowded when we were there. We flew in from Istanbul to catch a train to Selcuk. TCDD train station is just across the road from the exit and you need to cross the bridge to get there. There are a few options for car rental at the airport as well. Luggage collection for domestic flights on the ground floor, took a while for the luggage to be ready at the carousel.

They actually charge you for a trolley to push your bags, after travelling for hours. Clearly no tourist will have their currency. The bathrooms are also an absolute disgrace. This place definitely does not have growth in mind. Also, absolutely no seating area while you wait for your international bags to arrive. Try to avoid if possible.

This is the domestic airport. Not crowded and they have clean and fragrant restroom. Some employees of the coffee shop and kiosk can't speak english but we use google translate to communicate😊

Adnan Menderes Airport (ADB) in Izmir offers a truly modern and efficient travel experience. The architecture is bright, spacious, and very welcoming, making it feel far less stressful than many larger international hubs. Passing through the domestic terminal, in particular, is a breeze; the check-in and security processes are quick and handled by courteous, professional staff. The facilities are maintained at an exceptional standard of cleanliness. I was also impressed by the seamless transportation options, specifically the direct İZBAN rail link, which makes connecting to Izmir's city center incredibly easy and convenient. From its thoughtful design to its overall efficiency, ADB is a top-tier airport that significantly enhances the travel experience in the Aegean region.

This airport primarily serves the city of Izmir and surrounding areas, operating at a relatively modest scale. The three-star rating reflects its operational efficiency, particularly when compared to airports that have received a four-star designation. Its July 1, today and airport still did not remove Christmas tree decorations:)
