Klazomenai Archaeological Site
When you stand on the harbor at the Iskele, you are on some of the oldest known and longest-term settlement center of the Aegean coastal region, 4,000 years of Liman Tepe, which was a part of the ancient city of Klazomenai. The remains so far discovered appear in two different sections discovered in 1950, as the İzmir-Çeşmealtı road ran through it. Just a block back from the present seafront at the Iskele, stands the uncovered remains and reconstructed models of the Klazomenai Ancient City of Olive Presses. The olive oil workshop excavation proves that the technology used today was first developed in this region 2,600 years ago, and is worth visiting as the oldest known olive oil production center in Anatolia.
