Viewpoint
Favor the classic viewpoint looking across Konak Square toward the Clock Tower with the Gulf of İzmir and coastal hills in the background, showing date palm fronds and stone pavers in the foreground, the delicate marble Clock Tower, Yalı Mosque, and square in the middle-ground, and the calm bay waters and distant hills of Karşıyaka fading in the background.
Palette
Green should be the predominant color, especially in the thick date palm groves along the Kordon and Konak Square, pine trees on Kadifekale, and hillside olive groves.
