Nice place for photos. Better walk there as the Bazaar is next to visit from there. Spare some hours.

Konak Square is the very heart of Izmir, the mosque is small and beautiful like a casket, the clock tower is beautiful at different times of the day, it's just a place of attraction, Konak Marina, from which we can get maps for mere pennies (30 lira)you can take a boat trip along Izmir Bay to the other side, Korshiyak marina, getting there, you get to another city, a street with many shops, local and foreign brands, and most importantly, you can look at the city from the water, hear the cries of seagulls flying behind the ship.

A place from all the photos of Izmir in any guidebooks and websites. The very center of the city, roughly speaking, if you have not been to this square, then you have not been to Izmir, there is a 5-minute walk to the embankment, the metro station and the port of Konak, from where you can get to the other side of the city

Great view, especially at sunset. There are many cafes around where you can have a snack. There is paid parking about two hundred meters away. There are a lot of people, but you can always safely take a picture. There is an exit to the embankment along the footpath.

We visit here periodically, because this is the center of the city. A monument of very interesting architecture. You can go out from here to the long embankment for a walk. Earlier, before reaching these hours, there was a pier here, now of course the sea is a little lower. There is a mosque nearby

Location: on the coast of the city. Nicely. By this tower and the surrounding area, you can immediately identify: This is Izmir. The center of attraction for tourists, guests and residents. Straight, the personification of the city. You get beautiful photos.

A tower with a beautiful square, the market starts from here and one of the ferries docks here. It's beautiful, you can feed the birds by buying seeds here. Nearby you can buy simit (Turkish bagel). Very tasty. There are a lot of things on the market, from cheap fakes to official brand stores.

The tower is like a tower. Anyone who has been to Istanbul will not be particularly surprised. Moreover, the fountains and springs are not working. Anyone who sees the Ottoman architecture for the first time will be interested. I want to warn you about the actions of the Gypsies, of whom there are many in the square around the tower. Romals offer roses, it doesn't matter whether to smell or buy. Well, it's a classic for longer, they're fooling around.... Be careful.

The clock tower, which is located on the central square of the Konak city district, is a symbol of Izmir, the third largest city in Turkey. The tower itself is low (height 25m) and not very ancient (built in 1901). This festive, complimentary structure is a remnant of the glory of the Ottoman Empire, which, before the proclamation of the Republic in 1923 and the abolition of the institution of sultanate, still accepted congratulations and gifts on festive days (the clock mechanism, which is mounted in the upper part of the tower, was presented to the new Ottoman Sultan, who ascended the throne, 120 years ago by the German emperor). The clock tower is grayish in color, but very elegant and generously enriched with beautiful finishing elements: Moorish arches (such are often painted in cartoons about the east), abundant inlay on stone, carved columns, domes, fountains, dials from 4 sides, which reflect the exact time. All architectural details are small, compact, and artfully executed. If the Clock Tower had not been so carefully preserved and framed by the free space of the square, it would certainly have been lost among the huge modern buildings, but bravo to city planners who properly preserve the architectural heritage of the past. Nearby, on the edges of the square, there is an impressive white building - a modern administration, a mosque (also in the Ottoman style, like a Clock tower) and many others, there are large fountains nearby. After passing through the square, you get to the shopping malls - "Charshi" - a place where there has been a lively trade for centuries. We traveled from the Izmir Bornova district by ferry, which runs from one shore of the Aegean Bay to the other, disembarked at the Konak water station, then walked along wide platforms cascading up to the central square, in the middle of which is the famous Izmir Saat Kulesi. There are a lot of people around: citizens hurrying about their business, tourists walking and nannies with children, sellers of corn kernels, which are usually thrown to numerous pigeons. Pigeons are also a sign of this place, as is the Clock Tower. It is always interesting to see with your own eyes what millions of people admire.

We walked along the beach on a sunny day, the square was pleasant, if you've been to Izmir, you should definitely come by and have a photo. It was the most crowded place in Izmir. Both the metro and the tram stop by this square, transportation is easy.

A pretty square and a tower. But the best of all is the embankment itself. Long, stylish, beautiful. We didn't have enough time, we were on a cruise. And I liked Izmir very much. They say the Turks have a saying - you need to work in Istanbul, relax in Bodrum, and live in Izmir. So go ahead, you won't regret it))

It's not the tower itself that's good, but the whole neighborhood. The square, the bazaar, and other attributes of the area. Including the nearby Agora.

The ambience of the clock tower day and night is very different. The night is beautiful separately, the day is beautiful separately. It would be better if the taps were not stolen by thieves. When we wake up one morning, I hope there won't be a day when we can't find the clock tower...
