İzmir

İzmir articulates a large contemporary seafront with traces of ancient Smyrna and the shopping streets of Kemeraltı. Between Konak Square, L'agora and Kadifekale Height, the changes in level reveal the relationship of the city to its Gulf. Archaeological collections complement a largely urban discovery, distinct from the province's seaside resorts.

Agora de Smyrna, Kadifekale and Tour de l'Horloge d İIzmir give the most telling landmarks of İzmir. Together, they form a destination where the big city, heritage and coastline meet, with atmospheres that change over the stages rather than a single uniform decor.
