Seaside Stroll and Street Performer Enjoyment in İzmir
Explore İzmir's vibrant seaside with a leisurely stroll and enjoy captivating street performers for a lively, cost-free date.
- The date begins in the late afternoon as you meet at the start of Kordonboyu, İzmir's famous promenade. The sun is starting to lower in the sky, casting a warm golden glow over the sea. You stroll side by side, feeling the sea breeze that provides welcome relief from the July heat.
- As you walk, take in the sounds of street musicians and performers. There are magicians captivating small crowds and artists drawing caricatures. You pause now and then to watch a performance, clapping along and even volunteering for a magic trick, sharing laughs and playful banter.
- Finally, as the sun sets, find yourselves a cozy spot near the Pasaport Pier. Here, you can end your date with the stunning backdrop of the sun setting over the Gulf of Izmir. Share your thoughts about the performers and the beautiful sights, a perfect close to your evening.
Preparation steps:
- Make sure to wear comfortable walking shoes as the promenade along Kordonboyu is quite long and you will be on your feet for a while.
- Since the date involves being outdoors for several hours, wear light and comfortable clothing to stay cool in the July heat. A hat and sunglasses might be a good idea too.
- Bring a bottle of water for each of you to stay hydrated, and maybe a small snack. However, the area is dotted with cafes and street food vendors in case you want to grab something on the go.
