Going to the Konak Pier to get some lunch, there are restaurants and stores where they sell branding clothes, very nice place, there is a cinema also and they present "Teddy" movie, I think I will come back later to watch it :).

Mandolin Ayran and a hamburgue is what I have for lunch, I have to try the hamburguer here ! hahaha, it is delicious ! even though I do not like "Menta", I really liked the Mandolin Ayran, is has some "menta" in :)






We need to come back to the hotel because we are getting ready for the concert tonight, Murat invited us to listen to the Berlin philharmonic at Ephesus ruins, this is amazing and once in a life time opportunity ! I heard that this is the first time in 4 years they have a concert in the Ephesus theater, we are so lucky to be here !!

I meet very nice guys during the trip, Sedef and Nazli, Arin is also coming, we are 15 in total, it takes us 1 hr to arrive to Ephesus, even though it is night, it looks like an amazing place !, really really I feel so happy and blessed for having this opportunity !!, tomorrow I am going to Capadocia, so I hope I do not oversleep hahahaha.

A little bit behind of blogging, but here I go!!.

I wake up and put on my nice white jacket, ready for another amazing day in Izmir, which surprises does life have for me today ? i will figure it out ! :).

Lets start with a "sweet" breakfast, I love the Beyond Hotel offers breakfast, you can have a wide variety of delicious food yummy !.





IZKA team takes us out for lunch near  to the office, there is this place, Ora, the guys say they have great Turkish pizza, I want to try it ! ..... (eating hahaha), and indeed, it is delicious !, beef pizza, that to me looks more like a "huarache" but definitely tastes like pizza :). Incredible dessert, name Kúnefe, made of cheese and pasta, with azafran at the top, very nice :)

Now lets go to the Clock Tower after work,, it is an icon in Izmir, there is a big square around, Turkish flags everywhere, I like that, very patriotism people. Ballons' sellers, people enjoying the sea view, why not to do the same ? I will take a seat for a moment to enjoy the environment.







There is a Bazar next to the Clock Tower, lots of selling, clothes, food, specias, bags, etc, people are very nice and you can find everything you look for, just like a Mexican "Tianguis" or for the ones living in Guadalajara "las tiendas del centro" :D

Another beutiful sunset at Izmir, I think I already love this city !
