Ok quick fact. The fountains at Konak Square mark the original shoreline as it is mostly landfill today. The clock movement of the tower has been looked after by the same family for the last 150 years. And I used to live right across the top floor entrance of the Asansör. Gorgeus view, lots of tipsy sunsets…

[@TravelLordOnLoc]

Good info! Too bad I didn’t know earlier. I would’ve used it

[@supermariner]

Another quick fact; Before Kültür Park, there had been Greek neighborhoods in its place. However during the struggle of liberation of İzmir, a great fire broke out which destroyed a huge chunk of the city. Having seen the destruction, Atatürk ordered the rehabilitation of the land and building a park right in the middle of the city. There are some horse statues in and around the park. They are an homage to the working horses that died during the construction. Statues as well are erected by Atatürk’s instruction as he was a great horse guy.

[@TravelLordOnLoc]

Thanks for sharing that too! It’s a pretty nice park. I enjoyed walking around it on sunny days

There definitely was an extreme prejudice against Artemis and the temple of Artemis after the christening of the Roman Empire. Some of the stones of the Temple of Artemis can be seen in Hagia Sophia.

[@TravelLordOnLoc]

I was really happy to see it! I found out about the stones in Hagia Sophia afterwards. I wish I would’ve mentioned it in the video!

Very interesting videos. Few important corrections. Turkey is not in the middle east alough close to Syria in SE region. Also in one of the videos you were unable to recognoze feta cheese which is ataple in that part of the world. Little more research about the place, its customs and food would help. Also in one of the videos you described an ottoman hat as Fez which is different and cylindricle with a tassle and red in color. Alcohol is not prohibited in Turkey and is not only made by asyrians but also by Turkish people in Madrin.
