Antique Items Festival Take Enthusiasts to Journey Into Past in Kocaeli, Türkiye

The “Antiques and Handicrafts Festival” held in the İzmit district of Kocaeli brings together nostalgia enthusiasts. Various antique items such as gramophones, coins, handcrafted rings, and mirrors exhibited at the festival held in a shopping mall take visitors on a journey into the past.

“There are approximately 40 antique shops in Kocaeli and nearly 20 online shops. Our friends also exhibit their items at the Gebze antique market every second week of the month. This is one of our events. When a 60-year-old woman sees an accessory she used when she was 20, she becomes very happy. When she is happy, we become even happier. We are happy to exhibit many works of art here, such as German works, Italian porcelains, and Ottoman manuscripts from the 1800s. We are expecting all our people to this colorful festival,” said Kocaeli Antiques and Handicrafts Association President Adem Aydın.
