Alara Grand Bazaar

Waste of time. The whole place is full of fake labelled and unlabelled products. Even though you need to bargain, the price they tell you first is just too high. Never again.

High Prices, some products are full of dust, many shops are selling the same stuff, just a few of them know English. Haggle as much as you can, but remember, shops inside some hotels have cheaper products, in a better condition. People seem nice, as in any other tourist hotspot areas.

Market with sellers trying to get you to pay overprice for copy products (Some good copies, some bad). Always remember to bulk the prices. For example; seller "A" tried to sell me a green laser pointer for 150euro - went to another shop and bought the same laser pointer for 20euro. All in all a good bazaar. If you want something to drink or maybe a snack; go to the nearest official "Migros" shop (Also located in the Grand Bazaar) - much cheaper than any of the market shops.

Friendly tip: Don't dress up elegant. They will make you pay higher price. Just wear basic clothes here if you don't want to pay more than others. If you look cheap, prices will be cheaper. I didn't like this place. A lot of people, shops and lights everywhere (at night). Shops are very similar with similar sortiment. Clothes are obviously fake.

Great, lot of choice. But remember first make a round then buy. Dont let them you pull in the stores but stay outside. Look what the real prices are. Its all fake. The sellers want to know if its your first time in Turkey because then you wont know the real prices.

The store owners are very vocal, every single one will tell you to come look in their shop because its better and cheaper than the rest my advice would be before going *Have a way of getting to your money without them seeing your money *You are the customer its your choice which stores you go in *Haggle, haggle, haggle and haggle more then say actually to much and go to walk out, you'll then get the local low price *Dont take it personal if they keep asking you to go in their store, they're only doing their job, just laugh it off and say maybe later *Always, always, always walk around the entire site before entering any stores then you have an idea where you wanna go *99% of items are fake, once you have what you want in the bag take everything out back out and check the quality, holes in pockets, missing zips, dodgy stiching, wrong spelling ect *Enjoy the experience

Alara grand pazar is really big because of 370 shops l was looking olmost every where and nice place Jewellery, optics, leather, souvenirs, shoes, restaurants and migros market, of course??so l can recommend to everybody

Very big bazaar, when we were there just a few tourists were walking around, all sellers offering and calling you to come in, but basically they are selling the same things. Quality for clothes and bags are ok, little details, on bags particularly, haven't been taken attention, so stiching can be not straight or color coming of from zippers. But overall good quality dupes for less. Be carefull, negotiate always, there are no price tags anywhere. Turkish liras are rarely used, it's more dollars, euros and pounds, keep in mind exchange rates. Take off all jewellery, watches, rings, bracelets, that you are not looked at who has too much money.
