Plan Konak

Editorial responsibility: Elena Voss · Roavina Travel Editor

Konak is the central district of İzmir, stretching along the southern coast of the Gulf of İzmir and historically serving as the city's administrative and economic core. The İzmir Saat Kulesi, Asansör, and Kadifekale stand as landmarks reflecting the district's layered past. The Agora Açık Hava Müzesi and Izmir Archaeology Museum document its archaeological significance for those interested in classical history.
