Firstly, it is cheaper than in Istanbul. Secondly, almost no one grabs you or pulls you into their store to show you the goods. And he doesn't shout "Hey, bro.".. You can go into the store, look at it yourself, try it on, and leave without taking anything. They look at it with interest, but no one gets into the soul. However, few people know Russian either. Somehow, Izmir seemed to me more cultured and civilized than Istanbul in general. I was there on 03/10/2025.
We bought a tablecloth for the table. All sellers have the same product. The Turks stopped haggling altogether. Boring. There is a convenient multi-level parking near the market.
