If you bring to relax in Alanya itself, it is undoubtedly we can say that in terms of shopping you are lucky. Why I say so, but from the fact that resting on the resorts next to Alania, in order to diversify the purchases have to be specifically riding in Alanya, where the choice is much more, but in principle and prices can be lower here. So it turns out that in this regard you have an advantage.
So, you can buy in Alanya, which is most in demand among tourists, holiday in Turkey, and most importantly, where it can be bought in the city itself.
Anyone who reads this article now is probably primarily mentioned about souvenirs. It is clear what trip or rest can go without buying souvenirs for memory. And everyone buys not only for themselves, but also to relatives, friends, colleagues and so on. Probably should not say that for souvenirs are most popular, it's all that it is clear that at the moment it is magnets for the refrigerator. Agree that this is the most common and cheap gift, brought from the resort.
Any tourist buys them not one or two. But probably few people know that most of these souvenirs are made not in Turkey, but far beyond its limits, more precisely in the "Podnebyss". Oddly enough, it sounds, but even a Chinese magnet in Turkey is cheaper than local production. If Magnets were sold in Turkey, only local production, the price of any of them would be no less than two dollars, as they sell them. So even the price can be understood where the magnet was made. Probably many will now say how much the difference is where he was made in China or Turkey. In principle, there is almost no, the only thing that Turkish can be made better and more accurately display a fragment of that resort, which is depicted. Usually, the Chinese is shown simply the seascape and written Turkey or Alania. But God is with them, we will not score a head on trifles, especially since they can begin with half a dollar and higher. In addition to magnets, various bracelestics are well bought, like "Shambhala" or made of leather, with various beads, or oriental amulet from the evil eye, made in the form of a blue eye, the purpose of which probably even children who visited Turkey are known. The price of bracelets, depending on the performance, can begin from three pieces per dollar.
While the topic of buying hookah is still the urgent, not as before, but there is still interest. Hookahs are also different manufacturers, it is Chinese and Syrian production. Quality, in principle, is not bad and from those and others, but Syrian are considered prestigious because the hard elements from brass are manufactured, while Chinese are made of steel and copped with copper. It is easy to check, leaning a magnet to hookah. It is clear that he will not pester to Syrian. But Chinese have a plus, this is a comfortable hard suitcase in which you can transport and store hookah.
Syrian package in a regular cardboard box. The price and quality of hookah depends on its height than it is higher, the more expensive. And most importantly, when buying, check tightness. If with a closed upper part and tightening the air through the mouthpiece, a vacuum will not be created, that is, a disorder in sealing and such a hookah will not smoke as it should. Prices for hookahs are different, but start from about thirty dollars.
