In the narrow streets of Alanya’s Kaleici, the old walled quarter, traditional artisans still work at time-honoured crafts, from silk-weaving and leatherwork to silversmithing and carpet-making. Their small workshops and shops sell handmade goods directly, keeping regional skills alive and providing income to local craftspeople. Buying an authentic, handcrafted piece here supports these traditions and the makers behind them, offering a more meaningful souvenir than the mass-produced goods of the tourist strips.
