Bargaining and haggling is part of the fun of shopping in Kusadasi Turkey, and part of the tradition is that you will always be offered a drink, usually apple tea - 'elma cay'. Shoppers in Kusadasi mostly seek hand-made Turkish carpets, soft leather jackets and handbags, and superb jewellery. The reason for this is the low cost, high quality and abundance of these items.

Outside many of the carpet shops you will find a woman demonstrating the technique used and displaying the high quality of the rugs and carpets. Inside the carpet shops you will be taken into a large room with hundreds upon hundreds of rolled up carpets, and while you enjoy a nice drink of apple tea you will be shown any number of carpets you would like to see. They will seek out any size, colour or pattern you wish to see with no obligation to buy.

Jewellery in Kusadasi is also of superior quality, you will find wonderful ranges of yellow, rose and white gold, as well as diamonds and gems. If you find a piece of jewellery you like in yellow gold but would prefer it in white gold, it can be done for little or no cost at all.

There is also an amazing collection of clothes, shoes and handbags for shoppers who just adore designer labels. Due to a lack of copyright laws in Turkey you can buy exact copies of many designer clothes and handbags at a fraction of the cost. Many designer names such as Louis Vuitton, Gucci, Miss Sixty, Pineapple, Dolce & Gabbana and Adidas can be seen in the bazaars.
