N2  - Bergama Kermes is one the first attempts to advertise different places in Turkey in the first years of the Republic. Bergama, whose historical features and natural beauties were not kept aware for many years, became a place where domestic and foreign guests met thanks to the Kermes organized in the last weeks of 1937. It played an important role in many changes in Bergama. Kermes has become a center of culture, folklore, tourism and folk dances in Bergama. Despite all the negative conditions of the Second World War, Kermes could be organized; it represents how popular it is in society as well. The Kermes provided Bergama whose economy used to be based on agriculture with not only alternative incomes, but also a good opportunity to advertise the town all over the country. What’s more, helping people and countries to get in touch with each other better, the Kermes also has raised the socio-economic level of Bergama. Bergama Kermes initiated by Fazlı Güleç, the Governor of Izmir and not to be organized due to various reasons, is the only tourism activity to survive to the present day. Kuşadası Kermes starting with Bergama’s almost at the same time is now forgotten. In the first years of the Republic the Kermes launched only in a few towns in Western Anatolia survived only in Bergama in which is the first local festival in Turkey.
