Marmaris Grand Bazaar
Covered market in the old town for textiles, leather, spices, Turkish delight and souvenirs.
The Grand Bazaar (Kapalı Çarşı) sits behind the seafront near the castle, in a grid of covered lanes and small shops. Textiles, leather goods, ceramics, spices, tea, Turkish delight and souvenirs are the main stock.
Prices are rarely fixed, and gentle bargaining is expected. The bazaar connects easily with the old town and the harbour, so it fits into an evening walking programme.
- →Advise guests that bargaining is normal and to compare prices before buying.
- →Most shops stay open late in summer; mornings are quieter.
