Shopping at the bazaar is an indispensable cultural experience when visiting Alanya. You can buy any souvenirs for your family and friends at home, especially clothes, watches and jewelry, charms for luck in the shape of a bracelet, magnet or cup, local pumpkins and handmade jewelry or hand-painted, leather jackets, handmade bags of hundreds of designs, shoes, water pipes, home decorations from candles to traditional Turkish carpets. You can hardly return home without traditional Turkish coffee or delicious black tea.
Price negotiations have traditionally been part of shopping at travel shops in the bazaar, but keep in mind the limitations. Quality comes at a price even in Turkey. If you avoid being rude and aggressive, you can still make good deals in the market. If you do not like to negotiate, we recommend that you visit the company stores on Ataturk Street or Alanyum Shopping Center, where you will find European prices on the label.
