Supermarket Maxi Tansas Marmaris: Local products

by csordila

You are staying in apartments then you probably need some drinks food. You have to find a shop then "Tansas" is yours. If you want to shop local products, you can find a lots of them. In the city the supermarkets are closed at 8pm, but in Marmaris they are open after midnight! Buy local products!!!!!!!!! Prices for locals. Cheaper prices than in all shops around Marmaris.

Grand Bazaar (Kapali Carsisi)

by csordila

There is a huge variety - lamps, candle holders, dishes, scarves, jewelry of all kinds, leather goods, purses, shoes, antiques, gold, ceramic goods, typical souvenirs, and more. There are also many exchange shops inside if you find you need more money! The are a few different bazaars but try to find one which it's not only for the tourists.The bazaar is really cool as well. It was fun to walk around and browse. You could spend a whole day there, so definitely budget some time to do some comparison shopping as many many shops have thKalpakçýlar Caddesi Kapalýçarþý, which burned in years of 1546, 1618, 1652, 1660, 1695, 1701, 1750 has always been repaired after each disaster.

KATAPA SANAT EVI: LOCAL CRAFTS HAND MADE BY KATAPA -URGUP

by cheerssweetie

It had begun to rain so we ducked into this little shop. To be greeted by a friendly lady by the name of Katapa. As we browsed around her shop, she let us know all items in her shop was hand made and hand painted by herself. She offered us turkish coffee and told us she can even read coffee cups. We never had our cups read but had a great chat about life (mostly hers) while she painted, smoked and drank coffee with her female friend of 30 years at her side. Although beautiful we never brought anything from her little shop, but had a great time appreciated all the effort into making her products with the most friendlest local we met in URGYUP while we waited for the rain to pass. Hand made, hand painted pots vases etc in the Anatolian Style

stores and markets: Genuinely sold in Turkey, made in China

by melosh

During my recent trip to Konya, Turkey I saw a store with many boxes clearly from China containing items representing 90% of the store's merchandise. I entered an adjacent store with much the same stock and asked what in their store was made in Turkey. They boldly lied to me saying that everything except for a few items on a small table near the doorway. So, perhaps, this should be in the warning tip section. In China, I once bought a genuine made in China knockoff of a Gucci wallet stamped with both the Gucci trademark and "Made in Italy". The vendor honestly told me it had been made in China. In Turkey, a vendor tried to convince me that a very very similar Gucci wallet also stamped "Made in Italy" that he had for sale had been made in Turkey! The price he was asking and the reasonable quality slightly below that of the real Turkish wallets I had seen, indicated that either the...
