Please find below the selection we made for you:

1. Belek Market (Belek Pazarı)

The Belek Market is the main local market in the town and is held every Saturday. It’s an excellent place to experience the authentic atmosphere of a Turkish market. Here, you can find:

Fresh fruits and vegetables like tomatoes, cucumbers, olives, and citrus fruits.

Spices such as saffron, thyme, and sumac, which are popular in Turkish cooking.

Handmade goods like scarves, jewelry, and leather products.

Clothes and textiles including Turkish towels (pestemal) and carpets.

Local honey, olive oil, and other artisanal products.

The market is also a great place to mingle with locals and experience a traditional aspect of Turkish life. Bargaining is common here, so don’t hesitate to negotiate prices for the best deals!

2. Kadriye Market

Just a short distance from Belek, Kadriye Village has its own smaller local market, which takes place every Tuesday. This market is less touristy than the Belek Market, making it a great place to explore Turkish rural life. You can find a similar range of products—fresh produce, clothing, and local handicrafts—but in a quieter, more laid-back setting.
