Kemeraltı is one of the world's largest historical open-air bazaars and has been İzmir's commercial center since the 17th century.

The Historical Kemeraltı Bazaar, with its historical richness and cosmopolitan structure, is a natural plateau sought for the cinema industry trying to reflect life. It can inspire subjects such as detective, horror and thriller as different location alternatives at night as well as during the day. It is also in a position to host religious-themed content with many cinegogues, mosques and churches.
