Exploring the Turkish Market for Clothing and More
Today, we find ourselves once again in the challenge market, this time focusing on clothing and other items. The exchange rate is currently about nine and a half lira to the pound, making for an interesting shopping experience.
Pricing Comparison
Last time we were in the market, we looked at the prices of fruits and vegetables, which seemed high to some Turkish locals. It's important to remember that the average Turkish person earns significantly less than foreigners, especially those from the UK.
However, from the perspective of a foreigner, the prices of clothing are quite reasonable. For instance, quality jeans are being sold at 50 lira, which is approximately 5 pounds, and there are even options for 35 lira, which is considered quite amazing. The quality of the clothing is impressive, with T-shirts selling for about 5 pounds and trousers for about 4 pounds. These prices are significantly lower than those in the UK for similar items.
Quality and Affordability
One interesting find was an original Naked album for about 35 pounds, which seemed quite reasonable for the quality of the product. Additionally, leather bags with brand names like Michael Kors were being sold for about 15 pounds, which is a steal considering the quality of the leather.
Other items such as double quilts, towels, wallets, and masks were also available at affordable prices, making the market a great place for finding quality goods at reasonable rates.
Local Perspectives
It's important to consider that while these prices seem reasonable to foreigners, they may be perceived as expensive by Turkish locals. Items such as towels for 6.50 pounds or leather wallets may be considered pricier than expected by the local population.
Exploring the Market Atmosphere
Aside from the shopping experience, the market also offers a great opportunity to interact with the local vendors. Their sense of humor and the overall atmosphere make it a fun and enjoyable experience to wander around and discover new items.
Enjoying Turkish Delights
Lastly, the market is not just about shopping, as it also provides a great place for snacks and refreshments. The traditional Turkish drink of Ayran, made with yogurt, salt, and water, is a must-try and adds to the overall cultural experience of visiting the market.
Conclusion
Overall, the Turkish market offers a wide range of items at affordable prices for foreigners, but it's important to keep in mind the perspectives of the local population. Whether you're looking for clothing, accessories, or a taste of Turkish culture, the challenge market is definitely worth a visit.

Not been to Turkey for about 10 years but we did like to holiday there, do you still have to haggle in the shops and markets, or have they changed to a fixed price now? Cheers Alan

Uncle Mick, the sellers who understand that you are a foreigner are telling you that it is expensive, don't believe them.I'm talking about products other than fruits and vegetables meat fish. If the price is not written on it, do not believe too much what the seller says.
Anyone know were the market is and on what day?
I also heard about the Sunday market, but I don't find the place.
So if anyone knows the place and day for the different kinds of market in Fethiye and Calis please give a google map link. Thank you!
Unfortunately, that little pause before telling the price is the indicator that they do tell you the tourist price. =)
I am sorry for that.
It's expensive the commentator is getting ripped off.ive been turkey several times and you have to barter with them.they drop there prices.
Hello mike & Trudie, thank you for your amazing videos I am a Dutch citizen living in Abudhabi UAE, planning to retire in Turkey three years from now. Can you make a video about pets? pet food prices, vets prices, bringing your pets from foreign countries to Turkey, adopting pets, where are they allowed where they are not, etc? Haven't seen anyone walking a dog in any of your videos 🙂 also, social life and dating for over 50 in Turkey? Gosh, I have so many questions, keep your lovely videos coming cheers!
Turkey is beautiful like a dream
Ayran scene was awesome!
