Turkey Jewish Heritage Tour (Izmir and Sardes)
This Jewish Heritage Tour combines Sardes’ ancient site and Izmir’s
capital. You will be/can be met
at the Izmir airport or even at your Hotel in Izmir. Then drive to the Karatas
area in Izmir.
Beth Israel Synagogue
Visit Beth Israel Synagogue, The construction of the
Bet Israel Synagogue started on 15 March 1905 upon the decree of Sultan
Abdulhamid II, and it was opened to worship in 1907. Bet Israel is the largest,
most magnificent, and ceremonial synagogue in Izmir. However, the temple
differs from the traditional Izmir style with its building style and seating
arrangement. It was not built with a central plan but has been a double
practice of Teva from the very beginning. Due to the location of the building
plot, the Ehal (the closet where the Torah rolls are stored) is placed on the
south wall instead of the east wall.
Dario Moreno Street:
It
is located on Dario Moreno Street. There are old Greek houses lined up left and
right in this beautiful street, named after the famous artist Dario Moreno from
Izmir and was formerly called Elevator Street. There is also the house on the
street where Dario Moreno lived for a while. These houses, each of which has
been transformed into small and cute cafes and art workshops today, add a
different spirit to the street.
The Historical Elevator (Asansor)
The Historical Elevator is the best structure
to catch the unique view of Izmir Bay with its promenade at the top. The
elevator was built in 1907 by Jewish businessman Nesim Levi to overcome the
topographical barrier between hill neighborhoods above sea level. Then drive
to Konak Square and visit the clock tower;
Konak Square – The Clock Tower-Kemeralti Bazaar
Izmir
Clock Tower, the symbol of Izmir, is the Ottoman Sultan II. It was built in
1901 as part of the 25th-anniversary celebrations of Abdulhamid’s accession to
the throne. Kemeralti Bazaar is called a well-established
commercial area. This commercial square, which was started from the Hisar
Mosque built in Izmir in 1592, has grown more and more. Since the 19th century,
inns and covered bazaars have been located in the Kemeralti Bazaar, which has
been the liveliest trade point in İzmir. However, the shops here were referred
to as small businesses that local people were interested in. Options such as
blacksmith, coal maker, nail maker, spice and straw bazaar were located in
Kemeralti Bazaar in the past. Commercial shops in different areas were also
found at various points.
Havra Street (Synagogues Streets):
Havra Street, named after the many
synagogues in its vicinity, was a lively shopping center where Kosher (Halal)
food was produced and sold. According to their beliefs, the Jews of Izmir used
to obtain a significant part of their food needs, such as meat, fish, chicken,
yogurt, cheese, and eggs from Havra Street. As with other foods, wine
production was produced in and around this street in accordance with Kosher
rules. You will also have the opportunity to taste the dishes in the Sephardic
cosine. After lunch, drive to Sardes.
Sardes Ancient Ruin:
The ruins of Sardis
are incredible, surrounded by a stunning mountain backdrop. A must for archeology
buffs, photographers, people interested in Judaic history (magnificent ancient
synagogue), and bible study groups (one of the seven churches of the
Revelation). Do some research before visiting. Today’s ruins are pretty
impressive, with the best-preserved ancient synagogue and gymnasium being the
highlights for many. A sign points south to the Temple of Artemis, just over
1km away. This is where money was first used. Today only a few columns of the
once-magnificent but never-completed building still stand.
Nevertheless, the
temple’s plan is visible and very impressive. Nearby is an early Christian
church dating from the 4th century AD. After the tour drive back to Izmir.
Overnight in Izmir.
