For months, three architects would meet at the waterfront of Izmir, Turkey’s third-largest city. [...] Eventually it came to them – if you really wanted to bring people in Izmir together, transform the waterfront. But the very idea was daunting: Turkey’s bureaucracy is infamous, and a large-scale project to redevelop the waterfront seemed impossible.
So the friends [...] built eight floating docks out of plywood.

I grew up on that very edge. It is pretty much equivalent to a parklet on the water. Sea can get very rough there even behind the breakwater. In the summertime, it can be a great archipelago to bathe if the bay is cleaned and free of last remaining bacteria.
Here is a spot about Izmir a while back on Archinect.
