I advise you to buy leather shoes (the choice is very large - 30-60 dollars, very beautiful models, more expensive at home) sweets, gold-silver, but you have to bargain a lot and naturally leather!

leather, sheepskin coats, fur, home textiles (bed linen, tablecloths, towels), olive oil and soap, ceramics, and, of course, sweets.

Turkish delight - by weight 10 dollars per kg, boxes of 300 gr 1 dollar
leather - bags, jackets, shoes
suitcase - 25-100 dollars
textiles - towels, bathrobes
nuts in honey - 2-5 dollars per jar
halva - 2-6 dollars per jar
Turkish coffee - from 2 dollars
souvenirs - an eye from the evil eye, etc.
I also buy cheap Turkish T-shirts, jeans and magnets...

You can buy everything you see! The main thing is not to buy a Chinese thing! The prices are about the same as at home, but, as they say, if you haggle, then a nice price will turn out in the trailer. There is a huge selection of just about everything. Pay special attention to sweets and their tea.

Jackets, sheepskin coats, bags, fruits, oriental sweets, hookah, hookah tobacco

Leather products, of course, sheepskin coats, jackets, textiles, jeans, National vodka, but for those who love Yeni raki (aniseed vodka). Sweets, but better by weight, you can try them first! In boxes, usually lukhum but not always of high quality, nuts in figs are very tasty. Well, as usual, they buy small souvenirs from the evil eye!

Decide on the prices of what you would like to buy here - and compare prices, shop there. And of course - haggle!

Do not buy gold, they often slip a fake and the sample they have there is completely different (low grade). I bought my husband a T-shirt with their cool healthy eye-amulet for 25 UAH. Well, at the expense of leather, sweets and textiles, this is of course sacred (you just need to bargain very well). Hookahs there are much cheaper than ours, you can buy tobacco, but just look, what would be of high quality, otherwise they slipped us such bullshit as a gift that it was not even possible to smoke it! Look at things, they also have sales in stores (quality at a very good price). Good luck with your trip.

By the way, yes, I agree with miracle44 - be sure to bargain.
With a good ability to bargain, the price can be reduced by half at least.

I do not agree with sputnik-2007 - you can run into fake gold in stores, but this is rather an exception to the rule. With the same success, zirconium instead of brilliks periodically pops up in Kyiv stores.

Be sure to buy Turkish delight by weight: a- a guarantee that it will be fresh and of high quality.
prices for textiles are almost the same as at home. You can also buy magnets and something to which the soul will be predisposed :)

I can NEVER refuse to buy towels: lovely, with real embroideries, with lace, with appliqués, plaid for a bath...but bargain (more on that below)
I don’t buy gold, I think that the sample is bad, but the models are more interesting than ours. Only lazy people don't buy leather. I take baby sheepskin coats. I take t-shirts. And here's another thing: in the villages there is a bazaar, where prices are simply ridiculous, for example, in Beldibi (and in other places) there is a bazaar, where everything is 1 dollar each. Find out. Now how to bargain: I enter the shop lazily, without interest. I look at the goods calmly. The merchant offers this and that. I say no. Then I say: Okay, so be it, I'll try it on. I don't show what I like.
I ask the price, he names, I say: No, it costs so much (I call it 2 times lower), and we start a fun bargain, he slowly reduces, I slowly add If we are talking about an expensive thing, then we write the prices on a calculator, which we cheerfully throw to each other on the table, while drinking coffee (he treats) But keep in mind, if he finally agrees to your price, then you must take it ALWAYS, otherwise your behavior is indecent and insulting. I wish you success. Nina

I just love Tuzia! With great pleasure I can myself (without MCH) take a walk through the shops and markets. I do not feel any discomfort and danger there! Yes, and a lonely girl is inferior much better)))
Now for things. Of course, leather (clothes, bags, wallets),
gold (I am very satisfied with Turkish gold! And expensive items with diamonds and emeralds, bought more than 10 years ago, serve 200%!),
clothes (look at the quality. because there are sooo good and quality things, but there are consumer goods ...
Then at the expense of Turkish delight. WEIGHTED! For comparison, you can take a pack and loose - heaven and earth!
I highly recommend with hazelnuts, in coconut flakes with nuts. Insanely delicious. Now I'm writing and I'm choking on saliva)))
In Turkey, you can find beautiful onyx products for lovers! The very different ones - chess, vases, etc.
If you go to Pamukkale, there is sooo good quality knitwear, bedding. We were brought directly to the store at a large factory.
Turkey has very tasty and cheap fruits!
And further. VERY IMPORTANT. To my surprise, no one wrote about it.
During the excursions, you will be taken to leather factories, leather and gold stores, souvenirs and other places. DO NOT BUY ANYTHING THERE!!!

First, the prices are too high.
Secondly, the guides will receive a kickback, which you pay!
Thirdly, there is not always the best choice!
You can look, ask the price and have in mind for comparison. If you really liked something, take a business card so that you can return later if necessary!
Good luck!=)

I agree with all the opponents, but the main thing is to bargain - and if you don’t want to give in, go somewhere else! Bargaining about half or 30-40%, it all depends on the product! For sweets, if you take a lot, they will throw it off, and so the prices are fixed! And for leather and sheepskin coats in half, as a rule, but it’s better to wave money and get ready to go - they’ll definitely give in, but don’t show the appearance that you really liked the thing, otherwise the bargaining will be lower! And go around more shops and ask the price everywhere (do not forget to take a business card). In large centers where guides carry, I don’t recommend taking anything at all - except for textile factories, prices are high there and a commission of guides is laid down, etc. In general, good luck finding your bearings on the spot. The main thing is a positive attitude and a good mood!!!

leather, textiles (towels, bedding, bathrobes ...) - the main thing is to skillfully and persistently bargain (when bargaining, sometimes the price is reduced by 2 or even 3 times)
