|
Izmir. Large city, High buildings, roads,
parcs and palmtrees |
|
Brandnew roads are being constructed, along them modern
gas-stations... |
|
.... not seldom equipped with a row of shops for the 'small
everyday things' and even nice gifts |
|
In the neighbourhood you'll find the harbour,
rest a while and behold the
little fishermen ships up to naval facilities... |
|
.... or would you prefer having a good
dinner in a nice restaurant on the
water ? |
|
.... along the highways you see modern flats and
appartments rising... |
iiiii |
...and yes, traffic is heavy mostly, but on the
other hand you can spend time to enjoy local fishermen and restful water... |
|
A couple of local men didn't mind helping us promote
Izmir, drinking a specific Turkish tea on it !! |
i |
Once in Turkey make sure you'll vist
a local market ! Great atmosphere !!
|
i |
|
Real nice local pictures to feel the atmosphere
downtown, small markets with small businessmen...yellow cabs... |
|
Fresh fruit, nuts, dates, eggs, dried fruit, they have
it all readily available |
|
Second hand sewing machines, totally revised, or 'with
minor defect' |
|
From fruit to kebab, to carpets |
|
Salad, garlic, water melons, bananas, it's one color
party |
|
Aubergines, onions, and yes, we tasted the peppers
with dinner, this cost us some refreshments extra !! |
|
A lot of preserved fruits and food |
|
Don't like fish ? Shame on you, we did ! |
|
Great atmosphere, great photographic opportunities |
|
Thought The Netherlands was the 'cheese country' ,
well... here they also know many brands |
|
Ofcourse it's hard work, but when you get old, there
must be time for a nice warm tea and moments of rest |
|
Spices |
|
Flowers... in all sorts and colors |
|
Salesmen try to persuade you to follow them and buy
from their store, and who would blame them ? |
|
Though time for a game, it mostly is hard work for
some people. The 'shoe-shine' man did his job with pleasure however |
|
Many stalls selling trinket, juewlery, watches, rings,
bracelets you name it |
|
This girl in the street closes our view on the cosy
marketplace. Thank you all, we wish you good business ! |
|
We drove around in Izmir and environments |
|
You meet the most simple but pictureque spots along
the roads, if you're open for it |
|
Simple beauty can be in a palmtree, or a mountain |
|
Even art can be found along the road |
|
Or beauty in an old weathered aqueduct |
|
Turkey builds...flats, houses, apartments, wouldn't
mind at all living in such a house ! |
|
Modern wind-energy projects |
|
Nice tourist boulevards |
|
We were lucky to have one day free, and look around
along the beaches and blue water |
|
Paradise for sun worshipers |
|
The coastline near
Çiğli
, which is situated a little above the well known town Kusadassi, but more
quit overhere |
|
Ideal for us, a restful place to make inventory,
prepare articles and have nice cold drinks ! |
|
And ofcourse - Dutch as we are - fried patatoes, with...
Turkish pickles |
|
Finally to the beach, rent a sun-chair, stick your
feet in the sand... |
|
Hoist yourself in your swimsuit, the water is of great
temperature. |
|
It's just without reason, or maybe just that, but we
experienced the Turkish people as extremely friendly |
|
Just ask any tourist, if you get lost, a flat tire,
everyone is keen to help you. |
|
We ourselves got lost frankly, the police brought us
right back to the frontdoor of our Hotel Antikhan !! Thanks again ! |
|
How grateful we were these guys ! |
|
The gold of the future, cold drinking water |
|
And who would tell Turkish women are not emancipated ?
This woman tries to catch the evening-fish for dinner |
|
Izmir, town of modern Hotels... |
|
....decorated cosy boulevards... |
|
....waterpipes.... |
|
....a picturesque quay... |
|
...inviting terasses for the evening... |
|
...green between... |
|
...old harbour impressions and state of the art
buildings... |
|
... traffic and advertising, what's new ?.... |
|
....pedestrian bridges over the highways... |
|
Even old ruins in the middle of the city. That
characterises Izmir many times. |
|
How old would this be ?.... |
|
Izmir, from very early in the morning
(baker) up till the very late hours (party) the right choice ! |
|
We had a wonderful first vist in Turkey,
and we hope to report again in 2012 ! |
|
We showed you that Izmir has one of the
most beautiful environments, certainly worth while a (holiday ?) visit !
