Sights and Activities
The foyer is a very big public park with an amusement park, which has some great rides including roller coasters and the 360 degree drop one. The main shopping areas are about a 10 minute walk from the foyer. One should also go to the souks near the BOERSE because clothes and accessories there are much cheaper than those at the shopping malls.
Other places of interest would be the ferry terminal. At sunset this place rocks as most of the young people descend in droves from the ferries to spend their time there.
Izmir doesn’t have the same nightlife as Istanbul, but it has a lot of hear and character. It has a whole different experience from what you would find in Istanbul. The city still doesn’t have the same coffee culture but it makes up in other areas.
