Konak Pier is a Victorian iron-and-glass warehouse designed by the Eiffel engineering company in 1890, converted into a shopping and restaurant complex in 2004. The building's industrial skeleton — its cast-iron columns and glass roof — has been preserved inside the conversion, giving the shopping centre an architectural character that most Turkish malls entirely lack.
The pier sits right at the water's edge in Konak, with views across the Gulf of İzmir from its restaurant terrace. It houses a mixture of international chains and local restaurants, with a good food court. Worth a look for the building itself even if shopping is not your priority.
