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.
What to buy: ground coverings from all over Turkey and the surrounding regions
What to pay: 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.

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).

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.

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.
What to buy: Fruits and olives come to mind as they are grown in the region.
What to pay: 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.

We ended up choosing Selchuk as our “base” simply because we didn’t like to be in a place as commercial as Kushadasi, and at the same time the closeness to Ephesus had its influence. Selchuk is...
