Izmir - Konak Pier

Konak Pier in Izmir was designed by Gustave Eiffel in the late 1800s and was originally a warehouse and customs office.  It's located near Konak Square where the famous clock tower can be found.

It has undergone some recent renovations and is now an upmarket shopping centre, with cinema and restaurants and coffee shops, but a lot of the original features are still visible.

There is a lovely cafe at the end of the pier, where you can sit outside, right at the water's edge.
