Alanya’s Saturday market is a vast weekly bazaar where local farmers and producers bring their fruit, vegetables, cheeses, olives, honey and herbs to sell directly to shoppers. Alongside the fresh produce, stalls offer textiles, clothing and household goods, and the lively haggling and sampling capture the rhythm of everyday Turkish life. Buying seasonal produce straight from the growers supports the local rural economy and offers a more authentic, sustainable alternative to the supermarkets.
