Shopping in Turkey
Welcome for shopping in Turkey to the shopping paradise. It is not only Istanbul with its 500 years old kapali carsi the covered Bazaar with 5000 shops which is attracting shoppers, everywhere in Turkey are huge shopping centers with all international brand names and international chain stores like TESCO Kipa, Metro, Media Markt, Migros, Carrefour and many more. Turkeys booming economy is attracting all investors in the world from Berlin to Beijing to invest in Turkey by building the biggest shopping malls in the world. for example Starbucks has already 200 coffee shops in Turkey but no shops in South Africa, which gives a good idea about Turkey's status.
The immense competition on the Turkish market and lower retail costs are making all kinds of goods much cheaper than anywhere else in Europe.
it can easily pay out to come to Turkey just for shopping. All big brand names like Levis, Pierre Cardin, Mavi are producing here in Turkey and distribute their high quality merchandise in the top Shopping Malls and factory outlet store 30% to 70% cheaper in comparison to elsewhere in Europe.
Turkey is after France and Italy no.. 3 in the production of high quality Fashion goods. Also traditional Turkish products like gold, jewelery or carpets are cheap in Turkey.
The service in the shops is exemplary it is not just the chay, tea which is always served, not only in carpet or jewelery shops, I had it last even at Lacoste in Antalya, no it is the Turkish friendliness hospitality and patience to fulfill all the costumer needs.
