Millions of passengers pass through Antalya Airport every year – so it’s only natural that something gets lost. Last year, 3,372 objects were collected in the “Lost and Found” of the airport and are waiting here for their owners to pick them up after all. Including one or the other curiosity. For example, someone lost their trophy for first place in a Russian women’s volleyball competition. Or a one-meter-tall plush teddy. Or a license plate. Most of the time, however, it’s the classics that get lost: sunglasses, watches and, strangely enough, belts. All finds are cataloged and entered into a system. In this way, they can be tracked down within a few minutes, should the owners still contact for it.
