点评:A bustling market with a huge variety of goods. A great day out with some fantastic bargains available. Our holiday rep (Easyjet) was able to arrange a private transfer from our hotel in Balek to the market and back again.
As a family with young children, we wanted a day out to do a bit of shopping, but also know that we were safe and that our transport was arranged to safely return us to our hotel.
Our private car picked us up from reception and drove us directly to the market. When they dropped us off, we agreed a time for them to meet us back at the same place, which they did.
The market itself is amazing. Almost everything you could want. My son got football kits, my husband got some lovely smelling Turkish tea, and I got a nice jumper and handbag. The fresh food area looked and smelled amazing too. Be prepared to Haggle though. Most prices were quoted to us in Euros, but we had only bought Turkish Lira with us, so we had to ask for the price in Lira. We found the first few stalls as you walk in were the most expensive and cheaper as you went further inside. You can usually Haggle a reasonable price and if you can't, just say no thankyou, walk away and the same item will be available in another stall where you can try again. Most stalls are cash only, although a few did accept card for a small fee.
We quote enjoyed the experience and got some great deals on trainers, handbags, rucksacks and clothing.

作为一个有小孩的家庭,我们想出去逛逛,逛逛街,但也要确保安全,并且安排的交通工具能让我们安全返回酒店。
我们的私家车在前台接我们,直接送我们去了市场。他们送我们下车后,我们约定了时间,让他们在同一个地方和我们见面,他们也确实做到了。
市场本身非常棒。几乎你想要的东西应有尽有。我儿子买到了足球装备,我丈夫买到了香气扑鼻的土耳其茶,我买到了一件漂亮的毛衣和一个手提包。生鲜食品区看起来和闻起来都很棒。不过要做好砍价的准备。大多数价格都是用欧元报价的,但我们只带了土耳其里拉,所以不得不问里拉的价格。我们发现,刚进门的几个摊位价格最贵,越往里走越便宜。通常你可以讨价还价到一个合理的价格,如果讨价还价失败,就直接说“不用了,谢谢”,然后走开。同样的商品会在另一个摊位出售,你可以再试一次。大多数摊位只收现金,但也有一些摊位接受刷卡,但需支付少量手续费。
我们很享受这次购物体验,买到了一些运动鞋、手提包、背包和服装等超值商品。
