A- Yes there is a Market every Sunday in the Village.
Please Note :
Market of Sarigerme is not cheaper then the shops in the Village also shops in the Village are Hassle free zone.
However one must exprience the market .
In my oppinion Shop keepers deserve your money then the Market people as they come from different region in to the Village to sell to the tourist .
Support the Locals
Please be aware that in Markets ,Pocket Lifters may operate !!
Make sure you do secure your belongings .

I understand from the e-mails I receive , that some sales people in the Market of Sarigerme are trying to be pushy to the foreign tourist in order to sell them stuff.
My advice to you all is ;
ENJOY IT ..Try to get fun out of it , in the end of the day ,it is up to you where and how you want to spend your money .
Here are some answers to give to the Pushy Sales Persons in the Market;
Say : No Thank you
Say : Tomorrow Morning
Say : Next week
Say : Too Late , bought yesterday
Say : No money left
Say : After dinner
Shops in Hotels are nothing but Rip-OFF , the T-Shirts and Sun Glasses ect. they are selling is no better quality then the stuff you can buy in the Markets.Especialy Juwellery is very expensive .So, if you see a T-Shirt or a Sun Glasses -Sun Cream or anything , you can buy it half the price at the Local Shops in Sarigerme Village ,Ortaca or Dalaman ect.
Convenient shops are available in Sarigerme
where you can buy your e.g cigarettes ,suncreams...
