 | Izmir Tourist Traps | Tips 1 - 10 of 12 |  |
The guide explained he wanted avoid the tourist traps for us and at each tour, he brought us to a carpet center (the cheapest one) or to a jewell center (the cheapest one too).
I am sure the silk carpets were not made in the center we visited eventhough they showed young girls who are the only persons to be able to tie the threads but who are resting at the moment of our visit.
The price of jewellry is studied for the tourists, such as a little lower than the same thing in an other European country. I prefer buy jewellry in Italy or in Malta.
The sole good we bought is lokums : they are good and the guide was sympathetic... Leave a Comment

MOSTLY @ KEMERALTI and KONAK area, wich is shopping market area where you can almost find anything and CHEEP!! this area is located right behind the famoous clock tower and mostly choosen by locals for all there shopping needs.
Here also you will find a lots of really good experien ced hustlers where they can almost tell where you from by looking at you for five seconds.
They are slick and some are well dressed and good looking some are looks like very intelegent European gents.
as soon as they realize where youy from they approach with your own language, no metter where you from, Greek, African, German, French, Spanish no problem, they speak all even perfect Russian.
And all of them got same story '' their uncle or brother own aa Jewelleery or Leather shop, if you are not interested then theiir sister oown a shoe shop or silver shop, NOT INTERESTED then lets visit their nephews souvenir shop may help you. soo all got same story. and as you know they all live by commission.
so if you want to buy anything in this area try to choose the shops who have a price tags. Leave a Comment
