A Day out in Izmir

We took our friends Ken and Betty to Izmir for a day out. They fancied touring the bazaar. It doesn't matter how many times we go there, we always discover something new.
This delightful handmade pottery shop caught Betty's eye and from there we went to this simple coffee shop in a very old building once used as a women's prison.
The variety of goods on sale in the bazaar is overwhelming ...
as is the variety of buildings that house them.


From the bazaar we went down to Konak where this mini mosque and the clock-tower provide a great photo opportunity.


We all really enjoyed our bus-trip to Izmir.

  2. They do look well don't they; and so fit ... walked their little socks off around Izmir.
