Shopping in Marmaris

Marmaris is a shopper's paradise and it is very cheap! As cheap as it seems you can bargain and get about 30% off the prices asked, except in larger stores. Shopping here is a lot of fun, haggling and bargaining, it's great to feel you have made a super purchase.

Shop for leather, ceramics, jewellery and carpets. You can purchase designer clothes much, much cheaply here, however, if you want originals, shop in the better stores. Netsel Marina has some great boutiques for these items. In the bazaar and markets fakes are the norm but the quality is very good all the same. The Friday market is cheaper still.

When you visit the bazaar in particular, you will get some hassle from the vendors. After a while it becomes a little annoying, just shake your head and say no thanks. Hassling visitors is illegal here, but it happens just the same. The Turkish name for money is para. If you are bargaining for goods, the expressions 'chock para' means 'too much money', 'chock pahala' means 'too expensive' and 'para yok' means 'I have no money' useful if you are being hassled.

When making purchases keep all receipts. Although the vast majority of places are honest, if you believe you have been overcharged or have problems either in terms of items bought or services rendered please contact us and we can assist you with any just claims.
