Coast and water
Kordon (Alsancak)
Konak, İzmir
The waterfront stretching from Cumhuriyet Meydanı to Alsancak Port, where İzmir residents gather at sunset.
Its story
The Kordon's history goes back to the 19th century, when the shore was filled in to build a quay and a tram line. Old mansions, the Atatürk Museum and the historic streets of Alsancak line the waterfront. After debates over land reclamation in the late 1990s, the shoreline was laid out as green space in 2000. Sitting on the grass facing the gulf in the late afternoon, cycling or taking a horse-drawn carriage ride are classic experiences of the city.
