Antalya is the largest city in the Mediterranean coast of Turkey and one of the largest in the country. Officially, the population is more than one million two hundred thousand people, among which only Russians more than fifty thousand. Naturally, he is rich in a large selection of shopping centers, shops and markets, where you can buy everything you can wish.
First of all, Turkey is famous for its leather products and textiles, which causes great interest of tourists. Of course, as everywhere there have now been a lot of Chinese products, including leather that can be found here. It makes sense to compare the quality, but the price of goods from China is much lower, which naturally attracts buyers. As for major shopping centers such as Migros or terracial, the goods that are put up for sale have a clear characteristic and buy Chinese goods, under the guise of Turkish almost impossible, which you can not say about many leather centers, which willingly sell you a Chinese fur coat under the guise of Greek or Canadian.
This is especially thriving in the resort villages of the Kemer type or smaller. Yes, and at the price to navigate in this case it will not be particularly not possible, as the original price tags are simply translated. It is necessary to bargain very much to determine the final value of the thing. But we will not talk about sad, as quite a few tourists faced this personally.
So, where can I go shopping in Antalya and that may be interested in the proposed range.
First of all, I advise you to visit the new shopping center, which opened in the region of the Old Town, that is, in the center of Antalya. He is called Mark Antalya.
This is the youngest of all and many tourists, even who were in Antalya, may not know about it, as it has opened the twenty-ninth of the last year. On the six floors of this huge building there is a large number of boutiques of the famous Turkish and global firms, shoes, cosmetics, household appliances and other goods. To get around all the departments, you will need a lot of time. In principle, each buyer has its own opinion about this or that product and say that guests of Antalya give preference only to something defined. But I can say that many are interested in the products of the Turkish brand of Vaikiki, which produces clothes for adults and children of pretty good quality and at quite reasonable prices.
Many buyers in colin grade departments. List the names of all firms does not make sense, since there are a lot of them. I just want to notice that in this center will be interesting not only to adults, but also for children, since there are children's attractions, cafes and specially conduct programs for children with the participation of animators and clowns.
It is quite convenient, so for example, when we go for shopping with the whole family, then I stay with children in one and such places of children's entertainment, and the wife quietly walks on the departments in search of the necessary things.
In the area of Lara there is an equally large shopping center - Terra City.
In principle, he is something like the location of the outlets with Mark Antalya. There are about a hundred fifty stores and eighties in various cafes and restaurants on site. There are also entertainment facilities and playgrounds. The choice of manufacturers is about the same as in Mark Antalya. There is Terra City at Zümrütova MH., TEKELIOğLU CD NO: 55, from the Konyaalti region or center can be reached by buses KC06 and KL08.
It is worth saying about the most famous shopping center, which is known to all tourists who visited Antalya. This is Migros M5, which was opened back in 2001. It is located at 100 Yil Bulvari, 155 in the area of Konyaalti.
Do not confuse the address, as the Migros centers in Antalya are quite a lot, but they are all small and mostly sell food and some kitchen utensils. On the huge territory of the center there is a large number of trading points of well-known world brands, cafes, restaurants and even eight cinema halls. For children, playgrounds with inflatable towns and attractions are also intended. A large department is assigned to sell food. The attractiveness of this center is still the fact that in the immediate vicinity there are a large amusement park park and aquarium. Some family members, in the event of the urgency of shopping, can spend time in one of these places, or after shopping, combine pleasant with useful.
It will not be possible to bargain in any of these centers, as all prices are fixed. There is a truth a large system of discounts, especially when moving from the season in the season. There are also discounts when buying several things at the same time. In any of the boutiques, you can pay with the help of a bank card, cashless payments are taken on a par with cash and does not affect the cost of the goods.
In addition to these centers there are other, no less large, and some specialize in a certain form of goods. There are carpeted, furniture, automotive and others. About the big choice of stores to speak and not at all. Along the central streets, almost all the first floors are engaged in various outlets and catering points. By the way, along the street 100 Yil Bulvari, 155, there is a large number of shops that sell telephone sets, tablets, computers and other similar techniques and accessories. And both new and used. On similar goods, here you can find the best prices in the city.
Antalya markets, which are here are mobile and are held in different parts of the city on a specific day. Locals and tourists, knowing the location and day of the market, come and are reserved by products for a week. These are mostly vegetables, fruits and some food. But part of the market is assigned to the sale of clothing, shoes, household goods, toys for children and other inexpensive goods. Those who are interested in souvenirs or inexpensive knitwear can well acquire it in the market where prices for similar things will be lower than in stores. And vegetables and fruits whose choice at any time of the year is striking with diversity, significantly lower in price than in supermarkets or food stores.
As you understand, the prices and quality of goods may be the most diverse, so it is quite difficult to talk about one or another benefit. One thing I can say that for some types of goods that are produced in Turkey, prices are much lower than those similar in Russia or the countries of the former Union. Yes, and the quality seemed to be the same items significantly different for the better. You can also say about drugs that are lower in price and more efficiently in treatment.
