 Harry's Rug Gallery-ours is in the bag by guell If you're interested in buying or just learning about carpets, kilims or cicims, you'll have plenty of carpet shops to choose from. I recommend going to Harry's. He's an easy-going guy that will be happy to share with you what he knows. Get a load of my travel shorts/pants! They are the ones that zip off to become shorts. Stylish they weren't, but when packing light, efficiency takes precedence. I was happy to retire those things at the end of our trip.
ground coverings from all over Turkey and the surrounding regions
If you decide to buy something, bargain HARD, and don't be shy. Start at a third of the asking price and meet somewhere in the middle. Leave a Comment Theme: Local CraftAddress: Ataturk Mah.

by MalenaN Sirince is a small village but as tourists come here there are many shops/stalls selling souvenirs. There are two specialities in Sirince and it is lace (and other textiles) and local wine. In Sirince there are many small wine-shops selling different sorts of fruit wine. Some are too sweet for my taste but I found a nice white dry grape wine. And it was very cheap, 3 500 000 TL (I paid only 3 100 000 TL as the shopkeeper didn't have change for bigger notes). In the wine-shops you can try the different wines to find one of your tast. Leave a Comment Theme: Other

After visiting archeological sight we were brought to the Populer Leather Market where we could find many original goods at 'factory prices' and to see their leather clothes show. Have a look at my travelogue. You can also watch my 2 min 14 sec video clip Leather market near Selcuk.

 Lisa is going to try the flying carpet by MalenaN Many pensions in Selcuk have their own carpet shop. There are also a few in town. There are many nice carpets, kilims, sadlebags, saltbags etc. If your intension is to buy something it can be good to look around and only buy it if you really like the item and know you will enjoy it at home (then you should not think of if you paid the right price or not).

 spices at the market by shalala The market in Selcuk is a great way to see one. It is a little touristy yet still holds the charm of past years. Everything from tomatoes, spices to the kitchen sink can be bought here. Great deals on clothing...tables and tables of 2nds sold for $1-$5 a piece. Some have faults in them so pick carefully. The fruit and veggies are wonderful comming from local markets. People from all over turn up and families make a day of shopping, socializing and being seen.
Fruits and olives come to mind as they are grown in the region.
If a table has clothes thrown on it then the price is set and dont expect to be able to batter. If the clothing is folded neatly in rows and rows chances are they are more expensive and you can negotiate on the price a bit. If you are buying fruit and veggies dont barter unless you are buying a few KG worth. Yes bananas are expensive in Turkey as they are imported.

 There's more inside! by BlackSheeper 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.

This lady, called Angel sells her hand made Lace outside the Hotel Kale Han every morning till lunch time. She makes this lace in her home and it is the best I have ever seen and the price is very reasonable.
Expect to pay around 10 Turkish Lira for some Lace 60cm by 30cm or 2feet by 1foot. She will even make you a piece escpecially to your specifications at no extra cost. Give this lady a chance to sell her Lace as it is real hand made and ideal for the easy to carry gift. Angel lives just metres from the hotel and if you like you can ask her to show you how she makes the lace. This in itself is very interesting. Her English is a little short of being perfect but, with a few hand signals and smiles you get what you want.
10 Turkish Lira and up to 20 lira for a large piece of her work. Leave a Comment Theme: Local CraftAddress: Angel sits just outside of the Kale Han HotelPhone: England 023 80779399Directions: On main highway as you enter Selcuk from the direction of IzmirWebsite: brian.yates980@ntlworld.com

Shop all you want at Istanbul's Grand Bazaar. If you are coming to Ephesus, however, and that means Selçuk, then BUY at Moon Light Silver, owned by Hülya Çelik. The owner is funny, direct, and very honest. The prices at Moon Silver make this store special. The shop is clean, well lit, and packed with gifts and souvenirs. Bags, shawls, and hand crafted jewelry. Well made and quite beautiful. You will not be pressured to buy another carpet here. There are many testamonials about Moon Light Silver across the internet. All positive. Walk in as a tourist, leave as a friend.

Saturday Open Market in the the main square is the placxe to go for all your bargains. If you go for the Turkish labels instead of the fake designer labels then there are real bargains to be had. Expect to pay about 1 lira for boxer shorts, 5 lira for shirts and about 10 lira for jeans.
Keep away from fake designer labels and then you get the bargains
