Tips from locals
3 p.m. Konak Square, with its intricately patterned clock tower built in the Ottoman style, is the city’s beating heart. The 117-year-old timepiece was a gift from German emperor Wilhelm II and is an architectural feast for the eyes. The small mosque on the edge of the square adds to the scene. The surrounding gardens are an oasis.
