As the İzmir Mediterranean Academy, we continue to rediscover the city’s story through the narratives of our new neighbors, who come from different paths, roots, and experiences, with our “I am new to İzmir and…” talk series. On the evening of February 13th, we hosted Cevahir, who specialized in visual storytelling and works related to the appetizer food culture, and publisher Esra.

The guests shared their admiration for the intense food culture omnipresent in the old bazaar atmosphere of Kemeraltı. They emphasized that Kemeraltı has features reminiscent of Istanbul, attracting particularly those from Istanbul. While Cevahir expressed his preference for İzmir due to its tranquility and proximity to nature, Esra highlighted Izmir’s integration with nature, sharing observations during her ferry rides from Karşıyaka.
