Relying on statistical data and archival documents, this study comparatively assesses the significance of two Turkish ports in Izmir and Mersin between 1930 and 1960. As the Ottomans lost many islands to Greece after World War I, the hinterland of Izmir Port, which streched from Balikesir and Afyonkarahisar to Konya before WWI, shrank in size but still remained as the second biggest port in Turkey after Istanbul. Since Mersin Port was the sole Turkish port in the Eastern Mediterranean, it preserved its prominence in the early decades of the Turkish republic.This study reveales that in 1930 Turkey’s overall exports amounted to 151.454.371 Turkish liras, 28.278.875 of which shipped through Izmir Port and 8.889.000 through Mersin Port. In total these two ports handled 24,5 percent of Turkish export goods. In 1960, the overall export of Turkey amounted to 2.158.466.541 liras. Of this amount, 693.998.121 was shipped through Izmir Port while 183.673.686 was achieved through Mersin Port. Overall, the share of these ports increased from 24,5 percent in 1930 to 40 percent of total exports in 1960.
