SHOPS AND MARKETS IN SARIGERME

There are All Kinds of Shops Available in Sarigerme, such as Jewellery, Leather, Clothing, Bags, Souvenior, Tattoist and many more.The business hours of the shops are from 9am till after 11pm, 7 days a week

Shopkeepers are not pushy sales people but more relaxed and laidback unlike the ones in Marmaris and some touristic markets, Sarigerme is Hussle Free

There are no obligation to purchase a product when you enter a shop and been offered a drink, its in Turkish Tradition to Serve and Host the Customer in most pleasent way.

You can haggle, if you believe that the item is not worth the price you have been given. But, ones you agree to a price it is very rude not to purchase.

If you can not find what you are loking for amongst the sarigerme village there are nearby towns such as Dalaman and Ortaca with more shops you might find it worth visiting if you are after big shopping.

When it comes to markets , they are all same as same sales people moving around. from one town to another, therefore don't think you would be better off visiting a market then the other.

However, Fethiye market which takes place on Tuesdays seems the biggest one.

There is a Market on every Sunday in the Village which is purpose build touristic market, it is a ripp off and Stall owners in Sunday market can be pushy, annoying and rude most of times.

Majority of the stall owners of sarigerme market are originally not from sarigerme village, they come from different areas of the region.

If you decide to go, you will notice that no local person shops in that market, because it is a purpose build touristic market.

Market Days in the area :

Mondays in Koycegiz
Tuesdays n Fethiye
Wednesdays in Dalaman
Thursdays in Mugla
Fridays in Ortaca
Saturdays in Dalyan
Sundays in Sarigerme

I Recommend a DIY Market Trip, it is very easy.

Example below is for Friday Market in Ortaca (on fridays)

Get a Dolmush (see transportation page) what ever time you wish to go.Journey takes about 30 minutes,get off at the last stop which is the bus station of Ortaca. Market place is next to the Bus Stop.

Visit the Market and shops in the Town, When you feel like you need to go back to your Hotel go to Bus station, get the dolmush back to sarigerme.

Dolmushes (shuttle buses) from sarigerme to Ortaca operating from 8am till 8pm
