真诚7577:“History slowly continues in the interplay between the Acropolis and the Aegean Sea, the busy city and harbor, the buzzing whistles of cruise ships echoing in the cradle of ancient Greek and European civilization, and the ruins of highly developed city-states in the Aegean Sea...”
Miko Fujie:“The elevator tower comes into view after passing through the stylish restaurant street. It's free to ride, and from the top you can see the city of Izmir and the Aegean Sea! It was the most beautiful view I've seen in the city. When you get off the elevator, there is a restaurant on the right where you can have a light meal. I recommend going at sunset!”

LikeGor:“Whenever night falls, the ancient city of Izmir is always filled with unique charm. This ancient and pure city has the prosperity of a metropolis and the tranquility of a countryside, which makes people intoxicated and reluctant to leave.”
莲子99:“A street extending from the prosperous area of the city center, it functions a bit like a non-centrally planned bazaar. There are many handicrafts and specialties. The most impressive ones are the shops selling wool scarves and other products.”
