Gebze, Industrial district in Kocaeli Province, Turkey
Located 65 kilometers southeast of Istanbul, Gebze extends along the Gulf of Izmit with an area of 418 square kilometers and 407,019 residents.
The settlement traces back to ancient Roman times when it was known as Libyssa, serving as a vital trade route connecting eastern and western civilizations.
The district contains multiple architectural landmarks, including the Ottoman-era Çoban Mustafa Pasha Mosque and the Eskihisar Castle overlooking the Marmara Sea.
The Marmaray intercontinental rail line and the Osman Gazi Bridge provide direct connections to Istanbul, while a metro system opens in 2024.
Gebze transformed from a small settlement into Turkey's leading industrial zone, housing manufacturing facilities, technology centers, and research institutions.
