A colour tinted postcard showing Bella-vista [modern day Gündoğdu, the boundary of the district not affected by the great fire of 1922] section of the Punta seafront, probably around the turn of the century. Below, a later views of the area, showing the Alsancak ferry terminal.

The Naim Palace Hotel in early Republican times, later bought by the father-in-law of Ataturk, Muammer bey, and then given to Ataturk as his house in the city and later converted to a museum, which it still is today.

Earlier and later view of the area known today as Gündoğdu - Below views of the shoreline area towards the ‘Point’, where the shoreline veers in towards the port area.

Situated near the extreme north of the Punta pier, the Cafe de la Pointe venue was also referred as the Lunapark (to the right). The Kivetos Theatre was situated here in earlier times. To the left side of the Lunapark was situated the maintenance and repair station of the Pier trams. The owner of the Luna Park was Athanasiou Dimopoulo who had a house at Seydiköy. The Corso Cafe is probably the building visible in the distance to the left (where Cafe Eden probably stood earlier).
