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.

As soon as I stepped in, the blend of iron arches, glass ceilings, and sea breeze gave it a unique charm.

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.

Is a good shopping center, we saw allot of spaces that are not having any stores. But you, have here a cinema, you can see boards with the movies they have.

As well a Turkish store with good prices is situated into this shopping center, is called Mavi and is having clothes for all gender, at very good prices.
