Antalya's traditional market area (çarsi) is conveniently located just inland from Kalekapisi along Kazim Özalp Caddesi (formerly—and still sometimes nowadays—called Sarampol Caddesi).

 

Look for the statue of Attalus, the king of Pergamum for whom Antalya (Attaleia) was named. The statue is just across the street, inland, from the stone tower of Kalekapisi.

Behind Attalus is Kazim Özalp Caddesi, a pedestrians-only street pleasant for a stroll and some window-shopping.

 

In the first block from Kalekapisi are several currency exchange offices, helpful if you need to change money. Shop around for the best rates—they can vary greatly.

Otherwise, the street is the usual riot of clothing and shoe shops, boutiques selling ladies' accessories, electronics, games and toys, and pretty much everything imaginable.

As you walk from Kalekapisi in the first block of Kazim Özalp Caddesi, more or less to the right (east) of the Attalus statue, is a warren of tiny lanes close-packed with little shops, mostly selling jewelry and souvenirs. This was Antalya's central bazaar for many years—the city's prime market for food and indeed for everything else as well.

 

Other good shopping and strolling streets include the boulevard that passes Hadrian's Gate, and the narrow streets of Kaleiçi.

 

You can enjoy your vacation while picking up whatever catches your fancy. Traditional Turkish shopping knick-knacks popular with tourists are textiles, gold and copper work, carpets, leather goods and souvenirs.

You can find loads of interesting items in the large market called Dogugaraj. This is such kind of market place especially for textile and souvenirs. For buying branded modern items and day-to-day requirements the Migros shopping malls http://www.antalyamigros.com/ are a perfect choice on the west of Antalya. If you are on the eastern part of Antalya you should visit Shemall http://www.shemall.com.tr/, Laura http://www.laura.com.tr/news.asp or Terra City Shopping Malls. http://www.terracity.com.tr/

 

The city is famous for its jams and jellies made from every fruit and vegetable imaginable. The most interesting ones are the eggplant, watermelon, bergamot and turunc ( citrus ) jellies. There are also souvenirs and gift items particular to Turkey in the shops of the Ministry of Tourism and the Ministry of Culture and the shops in the old city. The area is famous for its Dosemealti carpets colored with natural root dyes.
