A must-see attraction is the bustling local farmers’ bazaar. When it comes to shopping local and eating seasonal, this weekly bazaar will offer you a wonderful way to see Turkish culture.

Geyikbayiri Market
Coffee, avocados, oat flakes, nuts, tofu, vegan milk, shampoo... you can find everything you need in this small market. And if not, the lovely owner will make sure you have it the next day. The only thing missing is beer and wine. You can find this in ‘Seymen market’ in Akdamlar.
Friday Bazaar
The Friday bazaar is a real village market with fruit and vegetables, nuts and dried fruits, cheeses and olives, chickens and eggs, kitchenware and sometimes even clothes and textiles. Across the street is a nice bakery. The supermarket Gös-Pa a little further in Cakirlar village also has many good things.
