Bazaars in Turkey will not leave anyone indifferent!

The Turkish bazaar is one of those visiting cards of the republic, which attracts more and more tourists every year. A local bazaar comes to each region of Alanya, once or twice a week, offering, with great pleasure, its wide assortment for all sorts of goods: fruits, berries, vegetables, textiles.

Local residents buy organic food immediately for a week in advance, and for convenience they use special trolley bags with a volume of 20 kg.

It is not customary to bargain at the bazaars themselves, most often the price is already indicated. However, bargaining is not appropriate, since the cost of the products is already pleasant for the Russian consumer. For example, 1 kg. tomatoes for this period of time costs about 200-250 rubles, when in Turkey from 5 to 7 lira (35-55 rubles). Only cash payment is carried out, so we recommend that you withdraw lira in advance.

A small "life hack" for you, if you want to purchase products more profitable, we advise you to come in the evening, as sellers lower prices to a minimum in order to sell the existing product.
