Walking in IZMIR KORDON | Walking Tour | July 2021| 4k UHD 60fps Kordon is a street and promenade in Izmir, Turkey. Its history dates back to the 1850s. It covers the coastline between Cumhuriyet Square and Izmir Port. In 1997, during the mayorship of Burhan Özfatura, the sea was filled 150 meters in order to build a six-lane highway. The filling works in Kordon, which was declared a protected area in 1999, were stopped by a court decision. During the period of Ahmet Piriştina, who was elected as the mayor in the same year, the coastal embankment was organized as a green area and opened to the public on June 15, 2000. Gündoğdu Square and Alsancak Ferry Terminal were also built on the filled area. In September 2020, the nostalgic tram was put into service in Kordon. ================================================================================ 🗺️Map of the Walk - 🗺️ Complete List of Walks:
