Konak Pier

I stepped here thinking that I will get a ticket for boat. However its something else. Visiting Konak Pier was one of those experiences that perfectly combined history, sea views, and modern comfort. I loved how this historic building — originally designed by Gustave Eiffel — has been transformed into a chic waterfront mall. As soon as I stepped in, the blend of iron arches, glass ceilings, and sea breeze gave it a unique charm. You don’t feel like you’re in a typical shopping mall — it feels more like a stylish coastal arcade. I spent 20 min here browsing the small but elegant mix of shops, grabbing a latte at one of the cafés overlooking the Aegean. There are multiple cosmetic shops, many restaurants, and movie theatre. All movies were in Turkish, so I didnt plan to experience watching movie here. The restaurants here — especially those with outdoor terraces — serve good food variety with unbeatable views. Prices are slightly higher than in the city center, but the ambiance makes up for it. There is KFC also inside. At a corner you will find museum of illusion. It’s a perfect place to shop a little, eat slowly, and unwind by the sea.

Konak Pier is a fairly ordinary place used mainly for short ferry trips between different parts of Izmir, connecting various points along the Izmir Bay. The ferries are relatively clean, well-organized, and usually run on time. The overall atmosphere is quite basic and economical rather than touristic or upscale, but it does offer reasonably good facilities for daily transportation needs.

This is a great place. Security check to get in, and then a hub of cafe culture, whilst also being an active ferry port. Very pretty place.

Konak Pier is a shopping and dining center located in a historic building overlooking the ruins of the old port. The place has been beautifully transformed into a charming tourist destination that houses restaurants and commercial markets.

I loved the place and was amazed by its history and interior, I love the idea of that the stores inside kept the original design and its history as it is believed that the building was built by Gustave Eiffel. They have the best starbucks with the amazing view of the sea

Many empty stores but free entrance , some nice restaurants with sea vieuw

We visited the pier to access a restaurant, so I'm not sure what to actually give the pier as a score. Mark, part of our party, has challenged my 5-star reviews, so I'm awarding 4-stars. Very good wc, and you can walk to the far end to look out over the sea. Lovely views. A useful flyover walkway takes you back over the main coastal road to town.

Cool concept and interesting that it was designed by Eiffel but it was a bit of a let down since it was not air conditioned in the main mall hallway so stifling hot (100+F day) and the only access to the waterfront was through restaurants. Many shops are vacant but the clothing ones seemed very nice.

Back in the day, when I used to live in Izmir as an exchange student, walking around Konak Pier was one of my favorite things to do. I'd meet my friends there for lunch (usually in Burger King as we did not have a lot of money to spend on the nicer places). It is a very sophisticated and small shopping mall located right in the center of the city, that used to have a great bookstore (not sure it is still there) and a bunch of cool (and expensive) brand stores. It may even have a cinema (I can't remember for sure and even if I did, it has been eight years, so that may have changed too). The thing I loved the most about it is that it is kind of open and the corridors are very large so you don't feel as if you are confined, something that usually happens to me when I go to other more traditional shopping malls. There are a bunch of really nice restaurants too, and you can sit there and appreciate the amazing view of the sea while you wait for your order to come. It is very close to the super popular Kemeralti market, so if you do not have the resources to do your shopping here, just make sure you come by for the view and some food and then you can move on to the street market to buy cheaper stuff!

Nice little mall close to Kemeralti open air market. Nice restaurants right on the water. The main stores are pretty expensive (because they have to probably pay a ridiculous rent). Anyway, this was the first place I went to see a movie while in Izmir. I saw 300 back in the day. I went to a movie there last year also. Still just as nice. They have sweet love seat style couch seats for 2 people. It's like watching a move at home! There's an Italian restaurant, a steak restaurant & a sushi place...they are all good.
