Alsancak & Kıbrıs Şehitleri Street
Alsancak / Kıbrıs Şehitleri Caddesi
İzmir's trendiest district, with cafés, bars and Levantine old mansions lining its pedestrian street.
Alsancak was a neighborhood of European and Levantine merchants in the 19th century, and it still has many stone houses with bay windows. Its core, Kıbrıs Şehitleri Street, is a pedestrian street lined with cafés, dessert shops and clothing stores. Around the crossing with 1453 Street, bars fill the area in the evening, making it a gathering place for young people. Two blocks west is the Kordon seafront, from which you can walk along the coast to the Atatürk Museum. Alsancak Station and the tram both serve the area, and evenings on weekends are very busy.
