At first glance it seems that all the working population of Turkey is selling something, something sells or at least makes promotion of some product or store. Even if you come just for the seaside resort, to swim and sunbathe, you will approach people with a proposal to buy a variety of things – from sunglasses to handmade carpet. And if you can resist the aggressiveness of the sellers, the price quoted for the goods will quite simply knock your defense. Because Turkey – it is a Paradise for the Shopaholic. But, not to be less of your expectations at the airport with two unplanned suitcases of clothes and a carpet 2 by 3 meters, let us consider what to buy in Turkey are the best.

Professional shopping in Turkey is inconceivable without three things: jewelry, textiles and leather products. The rest – if you can afford it, because the desire to buy will be, and it certainly is. Hookahs, ceramics, carpets and kilims, kitchen utensils and, of course, Oriental sweets will not leave anyone indifferent. But most importantly, what to buy in Turkey is necessary, is textiles. It is always of impeccable quality. Especially highly valued, bathrobes, bed linen and towels. In this country, even excursions to the cotton textile factory, but, in principle, inexpensive and beautiful clothes can be bought anywhere.

Cotton – not the only material that appeal to foreign buyers in Turkey. Silk dresses, scarves and shawls – also a kind of national pride of the country. But to ensure that you buy products made of natural silk, you have to visit Bursa city – centre of silk-noil spinning. If you haven't decided what to buy in Turkey is clothes, better ride in this country only in the clothes that you and two empty suitcases: Orient in place and easily in a short time will produce a substantial, but not devastating pockets shopping.

The same applies to leather goods: shoes, belts, gloves, handbags. Turkey is the largest producer of leather in the world, and therefore the leather goods here are much cheaper than in other countries. However, to buy coats and leather jackets are best in specialized stores. For example, in Istanbul, these shops located in the city Mahmutpasa, Laleli and Beyazit.

Another thing - the carpets and kilims. Here you need to approach the matter in more detail. If you decide to buy a Turkish carpet, it is better to go to a specialty store. It will tell you that Turkey is conventionally divided into carpet areas, and each of them has unique traditions, their unique patterns and designs that characterize this area. In these stores you will show good examples, and you can be sure that you are buying a real product and not counterfeit. In Istanbul these shops are mostly concentrated in the Sultanahmet district.

Also seriously need to relate to where to buy jewelry, particularly precious metals. In the markets you will offer gold and silver at a very tempting price, but do not succumb to such temptation: the quality of the product is likely to match the price. Jewelry stores will not only give you the necessary quality assurance, but also will help to return 18-23% of the cost of the item purchased by returning at the airport VAT. You only need to buy ornaments in the stores with a sign «Tax Free" and request from the seller clearance required for the VAT refund documents.

While shopping in Turkey, you need to remember that the markets starting from the real price almost doubled. Haggle, and haggle fiercely: nothing wrong with the Turks in the bargaining do not see it is their national tradition. But in the shops are fixed prices.

The Shopaholics will be pleased to know what to buy in Turkey any goods on any day of the week, any time of the day or even night. In the seaside resort towns shops are open until late at night, when the tourists leave the beaches and after sunset are, as they naively think, on the promenade, when in fact go shopping.
