Korfez Mahallesi occupies a built-up stretch on the northern shore of the Gulf of İzmit in Kocaeli, at the eastern end of the Sea of Marmara. It forms part of the metropolitan fabric around İzmit, where the coast meets the transport and industrial corridor leading toward Istanbul and inland Anatolia. İzmit is the modern successor to Nicomedia, a major Roman city that served as Diocletian’s eastern imperial capital in the late 3rd and early 4th centuries. The gulf’s sheltered waters and surrounding urban hills give this part of Kocaeli a maritime yet metropolitan character.
