"Marmaris, the Pearl of the Sea," is a tourist gem of Turkey. This beautiful town is surrounded by green mountains and the sea, delighting even the most discerning critic. So why not treat yourself to some shopping? Marmaris can be considered a true paradise for shopping.
General information about shopping in Marmaris
At the end of the summer season, upscale boutiques dispose of their merchandise at enormous discounts.
Items purchased cannot be returned or exchanged.
Shopping in the resort is like an intriguing excursion into a different culture. It's important to remember that the price quoted by the seller is not final. You can always negotiate (except in brand-name stores) and participate in the distinctive Eastern attraction of haggling.
Almost every vendor accepts not only the local currency but also euros and dollars as payment. So there's no need to worry about exchanging cash. Before embarking on a shopping spree, make sure to have smaller denominations, as not every seller may be able to provide change (or simply may not want to).
