Alsancak District at Night

First a romantic dinner in the gardens of the "Centre Culturel Français" in the restaurant La Cigale. 

Passing by the French Consulate bars and restaurant of the seaside are quiet busy.

On the promenade one can see large and small vessels and the lights of Karsiyaka (Karshyaka or cordelia in ancient time). His name means literally "the opposite shore".

At 11:00 watering starts and it becomes hard to sleep in the grass.

Streets peddlers propose cold beverage, "kuruyemis" or dried seeds and nuts or mussels filled with rice to the one who can't afford the bars and restaurants of the shoreline.
