Shopping in Antalya

With over 80 colourful markets and bazaars offering a variety of affordable handicrafts, spices, jewellery and clothing, Antalya is every shopaholic’s paradise. One of these prime markets is the Old Market, north of the Clock Tower, in Kazim Ozalp Caddesi. The closed-packed lanes offer clothing, souvenirs, leather, carpets, gold and silver jewellery, and the city’s prime food market.

The Dogu Garaji market is the perfect place to take in the unique aromas of coffee, tea and various spices and explore an array of handmade ceramics and crafts. Those looking for a rustic shopping experience must visit Kaleici, a market made of narrow cobblestone streets located in the older part of Antalya, famous for antiques and paintings that date back to the Ottoman area. The Caglayan bazaar, located in southeast Antalya, is a pretty farmer’s market where visitors can buy fresh fruits, vegetables, olives, herbs, etc., for minimal prices every Monday. Tourists can explore some of the other famous markets: the Orient Bazaar, Antalya Bazaar, and Spice Market.
