You should not buy lokum in boxes for $ 1-3. Delicious handmade Turkish delight, you can assemble the assortment yourself, they will put everything in a box for you, ask for a discount. In 2011, I bought it in Alanya in a private store, I don’t remember the exact price, from $ 10 to $ 18.

In the market opposite the Dolphin Hotel, they are traded very actively, especially if you come right after the opening (9-10 am). The Turks greatly revere the first buyer, believing that pleasing him is the key to good trading for the whole day. The first buyers are given the best discounts and are served according to the highest class. Don't forget to smile and joke around! Remember, kindness is the key to success. And not just in business. )))

Why buy bananas in Turkey? A good lokum will not be cheap, but it is the cheap one that is sold in the markets. For example, the best Turkish delight in the world is made in the town of Afyon. We can say with full confidence that you will not taste this anywhere else. The secret is that they make it from kaymak, and kaymak, of course, from milk. The local lokum has an absolutely amazing taste and properties, because Athenian cows graze in the meadows where the opium poppy grows! By the way, it was in this town that the famous baklava was invented.
You can look for a good one in large shopping centers in Antalya or Istanbul.

Take sweets by weight, having previously tasted. The choice of Turkish delight and all sorts of churchkhellas is quite large. The prices are the same as in Alanya, so there is no point in going somewhere specially. We didn’t buy anything at this market last year: sweets, dried fruits, spices, jewelry made from natural stones, swimwear, and cosmetics (Turkish creams based on olive oils, pomegranate seeds, etc.)

svbir, "Remember, goodwill is the key to success. And not only in trade."
- advice for $ 1000, it is! Many on vacation forget this, unfortunately.

That's right, behave even in the market friendly and benevolent, and you will definitely get a discount. You also need to understand the psychology of the eastern market, I was taught this back in Uzbekistan. The first is MANDATORY to bargain - this is the whole essence of the oriental bazaar. For this, sellers come to the market to chat and bargain. They usually inflate prices by 2-3 times. But you should also start trading from the lowest price, for example 0.5 of the cost. And when you already see that everyone has rested, they will not give in to you below, the second stage of trading comes into play - to show money. For example, you stopped at a price of $100, you take out the money and say no more $80, if you want to take it, no, we're leaving. Often seeing the money already in your hands, sellers give way more.

Usually in resort towns they sell everything that is the cheapest, remember Sochi or the Crimea, was it really possible to buy something worthwhile in the markets and at a normal price? Turkey is no exception. For example, they sell pomegranate tea. In fact, this is our usual Hibiscus. Black Tui tea, like our usual one, is not brewed in the same way, but brewed otherwise it will be nothing.

igor1960, I can only agree, everything is described correctly.
I can only add, if you really liked the item, but the price is still too expensive for you, try to leave the store with the words: "I'll think about it, but it seems to me that I saw such a product from your neighbors, if you return a little later, at least the last price offer remains, perhaps an additional discount will be given immediately ... "

Turkish delight by weight is much tastier than in boxes. but it’s also heavier, if you compare a factory box, then a box of the same size by weight will be three times heavier. the cost of a kg of Turkish delight varies from 10-18 dollars, depending on the type of Turkish delight)))
Bargaining is a must!

orbittours, of course, is better by weight, at least there is an opportunity to make sure that it is fresh.
Unfortunately, they repackage there because of the expiration date.

+1 to weighted!
And another such moment - the Turks have now got the hang of pouring into this Turkish delight just a wild amount of dyes and flavors, "identical to natural." Therefore, we never take Turkish delight and nougat with bright colors and strong smells. Optimally - transparent or white. From myself, I can still recommend fig jam! It is better to take it in Migros or Tansash, not in shops, the price difference is very noticeable, and it is fresher in supermarkets.

Pachok, similarly :)), for dyes.
On one of my long-standing visits to Turkey, tasting Turkish honey (according to the seller, he had more than 100 types!!! :)) I came across a very specific taste. When I asked what plants this honey was collected from, the seller, without hesitation, named something that does not grow in Turkey!!!
Of course, flavors have been actively used for a long time - there should be no illusions.

and with loose meat, it’s easy to find out if it’s fresh or not, ask them to cut it directly into portions from such sausages with special scissors in front of you and it can’t be fresh, because when cutting if it’s not fresh, it will be badly cut and crumble))) )
