About Bostanlı

What are the main landmarks in Bostanlı?

Eight entries, mostly houses. The Bostanlı Open-air Archaeological Museum is the only excavated ground among them, and the rest are buildings the quarter kept: Attila İlhan's House, the Süller House, the Latife Hanım Memorial House and three listed konut addresses recorded plainly as Konut in Karşıyaka. One monument breaks the pattern.

The Human Rights Monument is civic rather than domestic, which gives Bostanlı a public marker to set beside its houses and rounds out a list unusually long for a single quarter.

What is the history of Bostanlı?

The archaeology is out in the open. Bostanlı Open-air Archaeological Museum keeps excavated material on show without a building around it, which is the quarter's one direct link to the ground beneath Karşıyaka. Houses carry the later record.

Attila İlhan's House, the Süller House and the Latife Hanım Memorial House are all preserved under the names of the people attached to them, while three further konut addresses in Karşıyaka are listed without such a name. The Human Rights Monument stands apart from all of it.

Where is Bostanlı?

Bostanlı occupies a stretch of Karşıyaka in İzmir, bordered by the Atakent, Demirköprü and Şemikler quarters.
