New Year's Day in Izmir

On New Year's Day we did some sight seeing. We've never been to the Agora before, but it is supposed to be the biggest Agora found in the world so far, so we thought we ought to seek it out.



It is still being excavated and pieced together ..it will be fascinating to see it once they have finished.

Next on our list of "must-sees" was the Asansör. It's basically a lift that was built by a Jewish man to allow quick and easy access up a very high and steep incline. It was donated eventually to the city and citizens around that area use it a lot.



It also gives us views over the city such as this .... and best of all it's FREE!





This is the little alley that takes you up to the Asansör ... pretty isn't it?





After all that walking we needed a rest, so what better way than sitting in the sunshine, by the sea!!
