Better not to go to the whites for shopping
Belek is a fairly expensive resort of Turkey. Therefore, the prices of goods here are also somewhat overestimated. I think that the Turks argue so. Vacationers who have the opportunity to come in an expensive Belek have the opportunity and pay more than other tourists for shopping. Therefore, in Belek, everything is more expensive than in other even tourist sites.
In spite of everything, this resort is still part of Turkey, and therefore, shopping here is all in the same familiar set of goods that is characteristic of the whole country.
Textiles for home
Most often, tourists buy textiles for home. Towels, tablecloths, bedspreads, bed linen and other here are really distinguished by good quality, great variety and inexpensive price. For example, to say, hitting into one store with towels, we just lost there. Towels there were presented for every taste and wallet - bath, kitchen, for hands, for face, various thickness and colors, folded in different types of flowers, tubes, envelopes, for themselves or as a gift. We scored a few pieces and got a good discount, although we do not know how to bargain completely and that time did not even try to do this (because both at the proposed price still went cheaper than our homeland).Cotton clothes
To textile goods, popular among tourists, can also be attributed to the clothes. Its too, here you can choose from a huge variety. Travelers usually buy and terry bathrobes, pajamas, home slippers, and t-shirts for the whole family (children's, men's, women's, youth), and jeans, shorts, and skirts, sundresses, dresses, and caps, Panama, Bundans, Kosinki and more. Sometimes the tourists are so keen on the purchases that the account is not on the quantity, but by weight (because the weight of the suitcase when leaving Turkey sometimes exceeds the weight of the brought luggage).
Sellers are very nice, and often even obsessively encourage their store. There are also compliments and demonstration of goods, and the offer to drink green tea with them. When you go to such a store under the pressure of apt and perseverance, then you are accepted to show all the goods, which is in the store. Of course, they ask what you would like to acquire, but still offer everything that is. Sellers will not regret the time and strength to serve you. But if you still come out of the store, without buying anything, then be prepared for the fact that you will suffer from curses and insults. And these cute originally names turn into embittered sellers.
Once it happened with us. Do not pick anything of several expectant things, we informed the seller that we will not buy anything. He reacted to this very rudely, having snatched clothes out of our hands, thumping her casually on the shelf, the whole store snapped: "Go from here." It was very unpleasant, there was a precipitate and the reluctance more in general something to choose. Shopping had to do on another day, because at that time the mood was already spoiled.
Skin, fur
In addition to cotton clothes, tourists also often acquire clothing from leather and fur. Here you will find a huge selection of jackets, jackets, vests, raincoats, coats, fur coats. In fact, I do not even know how relevant their purchase is in Belek. After all, the quality of goods often leaves much to be desired, the prices are not so small. If you still set out the goal of buying upper clothes in Turkey, then it seems to me that Belek is not the most suitable place where you can buy them. It is better to take this purpose at least to the same Antalya. The city is close to Belek, but driving there on shopping, you can save.In addition, the associated leather accessories are popular - bags, wallets, purses, business card holders, belts, keystones, etc. They can be bought for themselves and as a gift.
Souvenirs
Well, where are our tourists without Turkish souvenirs. As gifts and friends, travelers usually buy different small things like magnets, plates, lighters, mugs, ashtons, brains, statuettes, etc. These goods are full everywhere, even on the territory of the hotel there will be a store, where there will be plenty of such trinkets. Level specially from the hotel in Belek for souvenirs, I think it is not worth it. But if you are going to the city, it is better to buy them there, because in the hotel store, for sure, prices are more expensive.
A separate category of Turkish "souvenir" is, of course, hookah. Their species here are also many - in size, coloring. I do not advise you to take a purchased hookah in the luggage in the plane, it is better to take it into manual sting to not break.
Several tips on the topic of shopping in Belek
For practical tourists, I can advise you to buy relatives and Turkish sweets as the hotels. You can buy and fruits, but it is only if you are sure that you take them to the house safe and preservation.
When we rested in Belek, we went from the hotel for purchases to the nearby village of Kadri. It consists of just a few streets, where stores are located on the first floors of the houses. We had enough such shopping. Even everything did not go around, although the village is small, bought everything that they wanted.
But familiar from the hotel did decided to go to the city of Belek and returned almost with empty hands. The prices in the shopping center were overshadowed so much that even the familiar dress did not be able to buy. They bought only T-shirts to a child for which they paid more than we are in Kadri.
Paying goods in stores best dollars. Tursts also take their own lyters, euros and rubles. However, the American and European currency in Turkey is so popular that none of the travelers resting in hotels in Belek, and does not even think about the exchange of money for local currency. Dollar and euro courses are not so much different, as in Russia, so it is more profitable to pay for goods by dollars. The ruble exchange rate when paying in stores is unprofitable, and Russian denotes are accepted everywhere.
