Picnic Season and Stove Market in Van are bustling

With the warming of the weather in Van, citizens flock to picnic and recreation areas, while there is also an increase in activity at the Historical Sobacılar Bazaar.

Especially on weekends, citizens create intensity on the shores of Lake Van, where they prefer to barbecue and drink samovar tea. This situation leads to an increase in activity in the famous Sobacılar Bazaar of Van. Craftsmen who deal with stove production and repair during the winter months focus on samovar and barbecue production as the weather warms up.

Producer Metin Akcan stated that samovar and barbecue production is rapidly continuing, saying, “We have been doing this job since childhood. We know which barbecue burns better and its quality. The quality of barbecues is generally related to price performance. We take care not to wash the barbecues in water to prevent rust formation. Additionally, by protecting wire grills from moisture and humidity, we offer our customers longer-lasting products,” he said.
