In addition to fresh vegetables and fruits, which are appetizing with their colors and images, on the benches lined up in rows, you can find; nuts, dried fruits, cheese, yogurt, butter and delicatessen products made from the milk of natural animals, gift objects, clothing, textiles and a wide variety of household items. 

In addition to the famous bazaars in the city center, such as Çarşamba Pazarı and Sosyete Pazarı in Antalya, there are district markets that have become traditional in the districts and are established on certain days of the week, which are the meeting and socializing point of the local people. Especially the large markets found in touristic towns such as Alanya, Manavgat, and Kemer take great attention from the locals and the local and foreign tourists. They come to the city with the variety of products they offer and the authentic and nostalgic atmosphere. Tourists visit local markets with curiosity and excitement to discover local foods, textiles and souvenirs, products specific to that region more closely and to better grasp the cultural texture of the area.
