Fethiye also has a bazaar area
in the city centre, although it's
largely full of food stalls. It's
clearly signposted if you want to
visit for the experience and open

In Alanya , the main shopping
area is centred on a network of
streets around the Damlatas
Caddesi , a relatively upmarket
street that heads in the direction
of the harbour. Here you'll find

tend to have more gimmicky
goods and clothing such as jeans.
Head out to Ehmediye Village
too for linens - it's well sign-
posted from the centre of
Alanya.
