Turkey is famous for its markets, but in Antalya and Alanya they turn into a true celebration of taste. Here you can find everything — from juicy peaches and aromatic figs to exotic spices and the freshest fish.
An atmosphere filled with oriental charm
Markets in Turkey are more than just places to shop — they are a ritual. Vendors invite you in with slices of ripe watermelon or a sip of freshly squeezed pomegranate juice. The scent of mint, basil, and fresh bread mixes with the sea breeze, creating a unique atmosphere.
