Izmir - Atatürk Caddesi (Kordon)

The most important street in Izmir for tourists is the long Atatürk Caddesi which stretches some 3.5km/2mi south from the district of Alsancak (landing-stage for passenger ships) at the northern tip of the city. This broad seafront promenade passes alongside the harbor as far as the old district of Konak and offers a panoramic view of the Gulf of Izmir to the right, while the left-hand side is lined with handsome modern buildings (mainly restaurants).
