Kırkmerdiven

About Kırkmerdiven

Kirkmerdiven is a cafe on 305 Sokak in Karatas, Konak. Its Instagram account tags itself as a street cafe in Izmir and says that getting there takes a little time, with a stop, a street, a bit of a slope and a few steps. An earlier post describes it as a peaceful spot waiting in a back street of Izmir. The vintage shop Eski Moda Dukkan is based in the cafe, and in October 2026 held an autumn clear-out sale of cassettes, CDs, magazines, postcards, decor items, glasses and jewellery. The cafe hosts small events, such as a solo classical guitar programme running from Vivaldi and Chopin to Mozart and Erik Satie, Black Sea folk song evenings, English and coffee conversation meetups and watercolour workshops.
