Shopping in Izmir

The residents of Izmir are known to be closely following the latest fashion trends, and its local stores offer the most fashionable clothes with a hint of the Mediterranean style. One of the must-visit places for shopping here is Kemeraltı Bazaar, the liveliest of Izmir with its authentic atmosphere. Kızlarağası Inn (Kervansaray) is another interesting shopping center, known for its carpet and jewelry shops and typical Turkish coffee houses.
