Take a free journey through time in the city's historical houses, tracing the rich history and culture, while finding sweet moments with your partner.
- Nothing beats the charm of a date coupled with a trip down memory lane. Start your day by exploring the Ataturk Museum, the house where the founder of modern Turkey Mustafa Kemal Ataturk, stayed during his visits to Izmir between 1924 and 1934. From antique furniture to a collection of personal belongings of Ataturk, the museum has many interesting elements to see.
- Next up, head to the Ethnography museum housed in an old Izmir mansion where you can unfold the city’s illustrious past. In between, take moments to sit down, talk about what you've seen, the history you've absorbed, and share thoughts about various artifacts.
