Fethiye Market And Ghost Town

Tuesdays in Fethiye are filled with excitement and vibrant activity. The region's largest open-air market, held in the town every Tuesday, draws buyers and sellers from all around. Join us as we immerse ourselves in this bustling atmosphere. Your knowledgeable guide from CHILLAX TRAVEL, an expert in the art of haggling and bargaining, will help you get the best value for your money. Holiday shopping has never been more enjoyable!

The market offers a wide array of goods, including textiles, souvenirs, fresh produce, leather goods, silverware, spices, and trinkets, displayed on thousands of stalls. You'll find yourself leaving the market with your arms full of shopping bags. But the shopping experience doesn't end there. As descendants of a nomadic nation, the gold industry holds great significance in Turkey. Gold has always been considered not only an economic asset but also a matter of pride and tradition. At the largest gold centre in town, you'll be amazed by the exquisite craftsmanship and the reasonable prices of the jewellery masterpieces on display.

Afterwards, we'll visit the finest Turkish Delight factory in town. Here, you'll have the opportunity to witness the production process under the strictest hygienic conditions and indulge in samples from their wide assortment. Once the shopping frenzy subsides, we'll drive to the captivating Kaya village, also known as Ghost Town. This village was abandoned by its original settlers during the unfortunate Turco-Greek repatriation period. Following the fall of the Ottoman Empire, a bilateral agreement between the Greek and Turkish governments led to an exchange of populations. The atmosphere in Kaya village is filled with emotion, some even describe it as eerie, but it is also an incredibly inspiring experience. You'll surely be eager to learn more about the village's history.
