• ›Hit markets early for the best selection and late for the best prices — vendors discount perishables and bulky items rather than pack them up.
• ›Know the haggling norm before you start: in souks and flea markets it's expected, in fixed-price boutiques it's rude. When in doubt, ask politely.
• ›Buy what's actually made locally — ceramics, textiles, food, craft — not mass-produced souvenirs that ship from the same factory worldwide.
• ›Use Ottoman old town as a landmark, then explore the side streets around it where independent shops and workshops cluster away from the chain stores.
• ›Carry a foldable tote and small cash, and if you're a visitor, ask about VAT/tax-refund forms for larger purchases before you pay.
