Konak Pier Izmir

The Konak Pier in Izmir’s city centre was designed by Gustave Eiffel and opened in 1890.  Konak Pier was originally constructed as a warehouse and was built together with a French customs office at the nearby by Pasaport Quay and was part of the regeneration works to Izmir's port infrastructure that began in 1867.  

Konak Pier became totally rundown and underwent complete restoration in 2003 opening up as a very upmarket shopping centre full of top designer stores and expensive restaurants and cafés, and today is one of Izmir’s landmarks.  

Further plans are in the making to extend Konak Pier to include a new large marina and it offers visitors great views over the water and harbour area it’s lovely to sit there in the early evening watching the sun set.
