The Thursday Market in Marmaris
You must visit the Thursday Market in Marmaris. It is in the town centre, around Org, and the atmosphere is electric with excitement every Thursday. Mustafa Muğlalı Caddesi, also known as the Kemeraltı area, in Kemeraltı Mahallesi, is an absolute gem!
It is open from 08:00 to 18:00, though going early morning offers the best selection – so get there early to avoid the crowds!
What you’ll find:
We are delighted to offer a selection of the freshest produce, including vegetables, fruit, herbs and local food products.
You’ll be thrilled to know that there are so many other fantastic items to discover, including household goods, textiles (such as beautiful tablecloths and linen), clothing for men, women and children (including sportswear), and so much more!
You’ll find some amazing stalls selling souvenirs and cheaper fashion goods, including fabulous imitation designer items, which are so common in many Turkish markets. Just check the quality and authenticity, and you’ll be all set!
Why should you visit the Thursday Market in Marmaris?
You’ll experience a very local market: you’ll see local shoppers and real produce, and get to see a more authentic side of Marmaris beyond the beach and tourist shops.
You’ll be thrilled by how good value it is! Produce and goods in markets often cost less than in tourist shops.
Get ready for the ultimate shopping experience! Here you’ll find all the best local flavours, fresh herbs, honey and textiles that you won’t find in standard shops.
Here are some tips for your trip:
Make sure you get there just after it opens, or later in the afternoon – it’s always so busy and hot at midday!
Wear your comfiest shoes and bring some cash, as some of the amazing stalls may not accept cards.
Get ready for the experience of a lifetime, because if you’re staying in Marmaris, you simply have to plan to go on a Thursday morning!
If you’re coming by bus, you’ll be able to hop on one of the local minibus or dolmuş lines, or you can use one of the above stops.
