There is something that few of those who wander the streets of Kemeraltı are aware of today. Once upon a time, walking around Kemeraltı meant visiting the coast. It meant walking in the world's largest bazaar while watching the sails dance in the wind while the coolness of the sea hit your face through the boats, barges and sails.

The inner harbor, which was attributed to the gazelle horn, played an important role in Izmir's taking the title of the most beautiful city when viewed from the sea. This port was full, people gained land from the sea, Kemeraltı lost its sea, Ships, sails and wind went with the sea. Kemeraltı Fora is a call to all citizens who respect the traces of the past.
