Enchanting Evening in İzmir
A low-cost date in the beautiful city of İzmir involving a visit to a remarkable museum, a delightful walk around the scenic Kordon, and a scrumptious local delicacy to end the day just right.
- For this date, you’ll be kick-starting the evening with a rendezvous at the İzmir Archaeology Museum where you’ll be able to spend quality time while taking a journey through history. This is followed by a pleasant mid-evening stroll along the scenic Kordon, the city's divine seafront promenade. Soak in the picturesque views of the sunset by the Aegean Sea. Lastly, end the night with a local delicacy, Boyoz, at one of the nearby cafes.
- The İzmir Archaeology Museum will give you both the opportunity to explore the history of İzmir and enjoy each other's company. It is situated in the heart of Konak and is an easily accessible location. The place is huge and one needs a good couple of hours to cover the whole place. After the museum visit, find your way to the Kordon for a peaceful stroll – a perfect way to connect and revel in the beauty that surrounds you.
- To end the night, treat yourselves to Boyoz, a local pastry that can both be savoured hot or cold with tea. Linger around for a bit, laughing, conversing, sharing stories of the day, and creating a memorable evening together.
Preparation steps:
- Before setting out for your date, ensure to check the museum timings and also the weather forecast for the day. We recommend wearing layers as the temperature in November could get a little chilly in the evening.
- Dress comfortably, as you will be walking a lot around the museum and also later at Kordon. Don’t forget to carry your camera to capture the mesmerising sunset at the seafront.
- Make sure to save some appetite for the delicious Boyoz towards the end of your date. If you haven't tried it before, you're in for a treat!

Some tips:
- Allocate your time wisely. The museum is quite large and requires a couple of hours. Therefore, it is advisable to begin your date early in the evening to enjoy everything at a leisurely pace.
- İzmir during November can get quite mild, so a warm jacket or wrap would come in handy during your evening stroll along the Kordon.
- Although Boyoz is a common street food, we recommend trying it in a cozy café, where you can relax, enjoy the warm and inviting atmosphere, and make the most of your evening together.
