Alanya has a range of good shops, and part of the fun is perfecting your haggling skills. Barring food items, bargaining on everything is expected and patience is key. One can usually expect to get prices marked down by 30 to 50 percent. Touts can get annoying and it is best to avoid shops with aggressive salesman. Alanya offers some excellent jewellery stores, as well as leather goods and clothing stores, a local market, and the usual tourist tat. Hookahs (water pipes) and tobacco are popular souvenirs from Alanya, as well as Turkish tea sets.
