About Kemeraltı Antikacılar Çarşısı

The Kemeralti Antique Dealers Bazaar opened in autumn 2019 inside the historic Kemeralti Bazaar, in the covered bedesten right next to the old fish market, and brings collectors and antique dealers together under one roof. It describes itself as the only place where collectors of history gather under one roof, and Visit Izmir notes that the dealers here focus on items with a story behind them rather than simply old things. With nearly 40 shops, the bazaar sells antique, retro and vintage pieces, from dial telephones and old phone books to antique porcelain cups, often to a soundtrack of Turkish classical music playing on turntables around the hall. Visit Izmir suggests resting afterwards in a bedesten with a cup of Turkish coffee.
