10-million-lira caravan steals the show at NaturFest in Istanbul
Original source: ankahaber.net

In Brief

At the NaturFest exhibition in Istanbul, the Artio Art7 Long caravan priced at 10 million lira became the centerpiece. Other models range from 350,000 to 9 million lira. Organizers link rising interest in caravans to earthquakes, the pandemic, and rising housing costs.

The second NaturFest exhibition is underway at the Yenikapı Avrasya Gösteri ve Sanat Merkezi in Istanbul, dedicated to camping, caravans, and outdoor activities. The event runs until May 3. The highlight is the Artio Art7 Long caravan, 10 meters long and priced at 10 million Turkish lira, featuring modern technology and home-like comfort.

The exhibition showcases caravans from local and international brands. Prices range from 350,000 to 9 million lira — according to one source, a German brand model costs 9 million lira. Organizers expect over 20,000 visitors. Discussions on caravan parking issues and the need for legislative changes are also planned.

Organizers note a growing interest in caravans, attributed to earthquakes, the pandemic, and rising housing and hotel costs. Earlier, in January 2026, Istanbul hosted the sixth KARAVANİST international exhibition with over 100 companies and 70,000 visitors.
