Shopping in Other Cities of Turkey
Outside of Istanbul, other cities with historic bazaar areas include Izmir, known for its leather garments; Bursa, whose silk textiles are famous; and Kayseri, traditionally known for its carpets. In addition, every major city in Turkey will usually have a modern shopping mall, offering a mix of global brands and domestic labels. In smaller towns, open-air street markets are common; these popular markets are filled with vendors selling fresh produce, household goods, and, in tourist areas, craft or souvenir items.
