During İzmir’s 19th-century heyday, the kordon was lined with stately offices and fine houses. Built by a carpet merchant, this is one of the city’s best preserved residence, which traces the life and times of one Mustafa Kemal Atatürk. Atatürk stayed here intermittently between 1930 and 1934; in 2014 it was turned into a museum in his honour.
