We found Ayodogdu Karadeniz at the entrance to the park and since it was early in the morning, we had him all to ourselves. He charged us a fair price for his services, and he spoke very good English. Leave a Comment Theme: OtherPhone: 0(542)225 76 04Other Contact: aykaradeniz_92@hotmail.com

A tipical place to buy olive oil at is the village of Sirince (say: Sheereenjeah). You can reach it by minibus from the bus station of Selcuk. Nice mountain village (formerly greek inhabited) where you can taste and buy regional wines (even true peach wine!!).
If you want to take a bottle of Turkish olive oil with you, be shure to read the word "sizma" on the label, which means virgin oil. The "riviera" is raffinated and you could be disappointed about it' s taste. Leave a Comment Theme: Food and Drink

There are several hovels selling books (of Ephesus, Kusadasi, Turkey), sweets, turkish tea, souvenirs, water, snacks, hats, clothes.. etc outside the Ancient City. Leave a Comment Theme: Other

We stopped at Art Cini while on a tour of Ephesus, and purchased over $200 of ceramics, and paid additional shipping fees. The items never arrived, and nobody answers our emails, faxes or phone calls. Purchase your Turkish ceramics elsewhere! Theme: Local Craft

I had a similar bad experience with Art Cini. I had bought a plate and bowl (over $200 for both) and had it shipped home. The plate arrived with a large crack. I immediately e-mailed the company, sending pictures showing the crack and returned the plate via FedEx (at great expense!) I received several e-mails from someone supposedly named Jasmin who assured me that they had finished my new plate and I would receive it shortly. That was almost two years ago. Skip Art Cini and go to the Bazaar!
On the other hand, a friend had her items shipped home and they arrived in a timely manner and in good shape.
I really didn't want to diss the company, I just wanted my plate back! And overall I'd rate my trip to Turkey as one of my favorites. This one experience really took away from the pleasant memories, though. Theme: Local Craft

Make certain to check all the vendors before buying. The prices vary from shop to shop for the same article or spice. Leave a Comment Theme: Local Craft

The shop looks to all intents and purposes to be a genuine business, but don't be fooled. I and many other people have ordered goods and paid for them to be shipped home. When you get home, no parcel arrives and there is no response to emails or phone calls. It's as if the company doesn't exist. Don't deal with them you will lose money.
We were taken to the shop as part of a day trip to Ephesus. Theme: Local CraftAddress: Selcuk, IzmirPhone: 00902328924522Other Contact: email artcini@hotmail.com

Description: In an overrun trade, Black Sheep carpets sets itself aside from the usual throng with its unique pieces (not just carpets) and its salespeople (not the typical pushy crew). It is a place you can hang out for days and drink apple tea without feeling the pressure to buy anything. You can mingle with Turks and view the most unique carpets, kilims, shawls, etc. for prices below the rest of the competitions. Its a place where backpackers, students, and travelers avoid because of the carpetsellers reputations, but once inside, can never leave!
Among 70 carpet shops, with small town prices (as opposed to Istanbul), Black Sheep Carpets is a great place to shop for carpets, kilims, and other handiworks. Also pick up a bottle of Sirince wine from a nearby village.
depends on what your are interested in! Leave a Comment Theme: Local CraftAddress: near the Artemis Statue, next door to AkbankPhone: 9 0 232 892 9621Directions: Namik Kemal Cadessi, No. 11 SelcukWebsite: www.blacksheepcarpets.com Other Contact: rachael@blacksheepcarpets.com
