Lots of the clothes are made in Turkey, so are dearer than Turkey, but if you are here then cheaper than paying the air fare to Turkey. Greek side is great during the sales, but otherwise a tad too dear.

The last time I was at the wednesday market there were some nice cheap clothes for every day wear. Most of these were made in Turkey but they were fashionable. For something special you would probably need to travel south, or have something made. The fabric shops in the street leading down to the harbour have some beautiful fabrics in stock.

Yes l would say they are a lot cheaper than 5 years ago.

Womens clothes l would normally go to MAccara, Pop Music and down town.

You can pick up a strapless top for example 15 tl not bad at all.

One thing l have learn't is to go into the shops you least expected you would go into.

Kids clothes Serena go up to 15/16 years and very good in quality.

Nike ok are made in TURKEY but having purchased some NİKE items fom JJB they are also made in Turkey.
