We always stop there for our Turkish delight…lovely lovely man
Loved the tour, brilliant shops ,somewhere I would love to walk round 😊 Thankyou both of You 😊
Thanks Joanne! x
Fantastic video again guys. Love your vlogs, Hope your channel continues to grow massive because you deserve it 👌🏽👍🏼
Thanks very much Ash. It hopefully will as we're upping sticks, flying to Singapore and going travelling for 6 months at the end of November so we hope you'll join us for that journey too!
@@ParksTravelGuide oh you best believe I’ll be watching lol we’re going to marmaris at the end of august and i can’t wait to hit some of the spots you highlighted in videos 😆 take care guys
Thank you guys, we are planning to visit end of this month. And it really us. Good job 👍👍
Thanks Hira! Hope you have a great time!
Hi, another amazing video 👏🏽 very informative and helpful. Peace and love ❤
Hey MIJ BOB! Thanks very much, same to you x
7:32 I went there yesterday. Turkish delight is AMAZING. This guy is super nice, was offering samples, he couldn't do enough.
Would definitely recommend. Located in the green section.
Glad you had a good time Falzar!
Great vlog guys.... We have recently booked to go to Turkey in July to oludeniz and Fethiye. Marmaris looks very pretty too as does all of the Turkish riviera. Can't wait.
Thanks very much! We hope you have a fantastic time. Marmaris has still got a charm but as more and more hotels get knocked up it's struggling to retain it. The bazaar is pretty much the only thing that's still true to a pre-mass tourist era, but it's still a great place!
Great Vlog . keep it up . We go back in September . Can't wait .
Hope you have a great trip! Thanks for watching 🙂
I went into Paris barbers came out 10 years younger. enjoyed the video. loved Marmaris
Thanks Maurice. Glad you enjoyed your trip and thank you for watching us! John & Becky x
Planning to visit soon IA - great video. Thank you.
Thanks very much. We're trying to plan being back this year in either June or September. Hope you have a great trip!
@@ParksTravelGuide awesome. Thank you
Loved the ride, have really missed the place, not been for 4 years for various reasons . Just about to book for later this year 😊. Loved the music too ❤ loving you videos thank you
Hey Val! You'll go back and it will be like you have never been away. Marmaris has a hold like that. It just waits for you. Thanks very much for watching! John & Becky x
Great video I’m going to marmaris in June which ships would you recommend in the bazaar thanks😊
The ones that we've filmed Leanne. Especially Ali's and Huseyin's. If you need shoes then go to Erol shoes and tell him we've sent you. You'll be looked after. All these have been tried and tested. You may pay slightly more in these shops but the quality is excellent and we stand by that. These days we normally shop in the fixed price department stores like DeFacto at the opposite side of the bazaar in the Turkish quarter as our styles don't really fit the majority of offerings in the bazaar these days. Have a good browse and always remember to check the quality before you start haggling if visiting other shops in the bazaar.
I could spend so little at the bazaar and get loads! Fairly priced, thank you for a detailed video, can’t beat a good kebab for lunch! 😊
It's a wonderful place Caitlin x
Love it. Thanks for the info. We are going to Turkey for most of September. New sub so I can watch learn some more about Turkey.
Thanks pal. It's our Dalyan boat trip next Sunday which is a beautiful resort by the river. Thanks for watching 👍🏼
Really informative posy my lovely friends ❤️❤️❤️
Thanks Gianni x
Enjoyed that actually, just watching videos before booking... Cheers guys
Glad we could help Danno. We've got 3 based in Marmaris altogether. Thanks for watching!
another great vlog thanx,maybe the bazarr was so quiet in june because 1000,s 0f british flights were cancelled,loved your first vlog and love this...im taking notes especially the turkish delights lol
Yeah that definitely played a part Trudy. It got pretty busy around 10-11pm though. Thank you very much, we hope you like Sundays vlog which is our day trip to Dalyan from Marmaris which we highly recommend!
I went to turkey last April after 16 years of not going. and it had changed alot from when i first went in 2002-2005. then 2022. Love the place
Yeah we expect you found a lot of changes in that time. Even year to year there's always something new somewhere. Thanks for watching!
Great vlog.Good old fashioned Turkish and Yorkshire hospitality/relationship building.
Hahaha thanks Alasdair. You can take the people out of Yorkshire but not Yorkshire out of the people. We absolutely love talking to locals when we travel
@@ParksTravelGuide yep good point well made.Keep up the good work and all the best.
Not visited for three years but I'll be there with the family in ten days. Can't wait!
Hope you have a great time Jeremy, we're jealous! Have a beer or 5 for us. John & Becky x
Wie certainly will and my first stop will be the barbers in the bazaar for a haircut and shave
Super będę tam za 4 dni 😉
Mieć świetne wakacje! Dzięki za oglądanie
Great vids guys, I'm off to Marmaris next week, cant wait oyu have given me some great places to go. Thanks
Glad to hear it John. Have a great time and an Efes for us. Thanks for watching! John & Becky x
Will do, I shall be trying some the food you showed, the back streets are the best, the Turkish people are so kind and friendly, I never want to go back to the UK when I’m there👍
Excellent interesting video. Visiting Marmaris May 2023 and will definitely go to the places you've suggested.
Thanks Anna! Say Hi from us x
Me 2 land there next Wednesday 🏖️ Yippee
@@cheryllines4106 Have a great time!
@@ParksTravelGuide I hope so, I'm traveling alone so I'm a little nervous. I'm sure I'll be fine after a few cocktails 😅x
Definitely. Make sure you let us know how you get on, either on here or on our more 'up to date' social pages on Insta and Facebook under Parks Travel Guide 🙂
Hi guys, this is a great vlog, I love the fact that you know so many people as a returning tourist, we have only been to Turkey once ….. Kusidasi, it was nice but too many American cruise ships came in whilst we were there so kind of spoilt the vibe. Food looks as good as I remember though 💕💕 Greek and Turkish food is the best in my opinion, hope you are both well ❣️😁
Ey up Kezza! Kusadasi is nice but just misses something for us. Totally agree with you on the food! We're not too bad love and hope you are too xx
We will definitely be coming to look now! I’ve been three times and never been in!
You can easily pass a fair few hours there Marcus. Thanks for watching 🙂
Would love to see the grand bazar bet you can get some cheap designer handbags in there great video as always 👍
It's definitely handbags aplenty Shannon! Thanks very much x
Hi! In Marmaris this week and have said "hello" and shopped with many of your friends. Hoping to get the koftas soon.
That's great! Have a fantastic time 😬
Luv it yes pls my favourite place
We hope to get back in the future. Turkiye is an amazing country!
I’d probably spend a lot in that bazaar! Nice vlog.
-Gypsy Adventures TV
Thank you Jane x
Accidentally find your chanel😊, tomorrow me and my wife heading from Norwich to Marmaris . Nice video with proper explanation 😊 all the best .
We love those type of accidents Ceslav! Thank you very much and we hope you find the other vlogs on Marmaris that we did (and Rhodes if you decide to go) on our channel useful. Have a great trip!
@@ParksTravelGuidecheers
Looks great there for the clothes was very quiet that's a first. We have been to gumbet by bodrum and love the shawarma I even brought some back to liverpool. Can't wait to see the next one...... Was that you john as a kid in the pic
It was indeed. That will have been around 1993 that it was taken. Yeah it was all strange to say the time we filmed but it got busy late at night.
I love the Turkish bread with their tomato sauce!
So do we! Ezme (the spicy chilli dip) is our favourite. Thanks for commenting! John & Becky x
I love it there.
Us too. It's great fun!
We were there last week and we're missing it already. Hoping to buy a place there soon 🤞 Becky, you could present on mainstream tv- you're a natural 💪
Hey Paul. As we see the exit sign for Marmaris when you start your journey back to Dalaman we often start missing it there. John leaves a little piece of his heart there each time given the lifelong history. If you watch our first ever vlog in Gdansk that's how it started!! I was terrified having no camera experience but I feel I am getting better each time (or trying to anyway) Thank you so much for your lovely words x
@@ParksTravelGuide I'm a recent subscriber and I hope to be able to catch up on all your vids before too long. I'm currently watching A Place in the Sun and I'm sitting here thinking "this would suit Becky down to the ground!" I love the vibe that you and John bring and I'll enjoy watching your travels :)
Haha thank you. We genuinely appreciate every subscriber we have. We constantly try to improve with each vlog and get more confident, but we will always stay 'rugged'. It's great to have you with us and especially in time for our big 1,000 subscriber announcement on our social media on Thursday so stay tuned! X
I'm gonna put 5 stone on in a week. Looks amazing that food 😍
Oh it is. We could live off kebabs alone all week!
You guys are naturals on cam. Another great video can't wait to go to this place 🙌. Great tips and advice. We have 3 boys, all young lads. No issues taking them in bazar?
Thanks a lot Chris. The Turkish are amazing with kids but no, you won't have any issues in a safety way nor should they see something that's not age appropriate. I guarantee you'll need your wallet though as there's a lot of clothes that they will probably want. Don't worry if you don't get the price you have in mind in your first shop as I guarantee someone else will be selling it. Dalyan is next week and is worth a day trip on the boat. Thanks for commenting 👍🏼
@@ParksTravelGuide thanks so much guys 🙏
I have fond memories of the Liman in the bazaar. Used to drop my Dad there so me and Mum could go shopping! Used to be a leather shop across!
It's now the 5 pound shop that you'll see in the vlog Hilary. A huge difference
Hi guys hope u both ok. I’m glad you mentioned the roof colours so can’t get lost. Once again we’ll done guys cracking blog
@@ivanlee35 Hey Ivan. It all loops round eventually but you have several areas you can turn off at. It's an experience you can't miss as we spend a lot of time in there when we go. The smells of leather and spices are incredible and add to the sensory side. If you notice any faces when you are out there then be sure to tell them you saw them here.
@@ParksTravelGuide many thanks will I get a Leeds utd shirt there lol
I would be very surprised if you can't Ivan.
aww thanks. reallly love ur videos. watching delhi one now.
Thank you very much, it certainly means a lot to us. We head back to India on Tuesday but just sticking to Candolim in Goa and Mumbai this time. Nothing too hectic as we're knackered from work so need to take it easy 😆. Hopefully you'll find inspiration in the archive of vlogs x
we would have gone to India last week but cancelled cos of protests and are mow going to marmaris x
@dogfamily252 we were in Sri Lanka during the protests and tourists are safe. Infact we were driven directly through one in error 😆. You can always re plan though, India is a fantastic country.
@ParksTravelGuide yes I have been 4 times. I love it. I recommend punjab I know you have been to Delhi which is amazing x
@@ParksTravelGuide hey u ok? last day in Turkey today. been amazing and got to 33 degrees xx
My favourite city 💝
It's beautiful isn't it!
@@ParksTravelGuide absolutely
Mashallah mashallah marhaba marhaba love respect and support Turkey and its beautiful people from Pakistan 🙂🇵🇰🇹🇷🤩😍. May Allah SWT bless Turkey and its beautiful people from Pakistan 🙂🇵🇰🇹🇷🤩😍. Please visit Pakistan 🙂🇵🇰🇹🇷🤩😍
Hey Shahida. Thank you very much. We hope to visit Pakistan next year. Wishing you all the best for the new year! John & Becky
It's £7.50 for a cut and shave in turkey but in england it's like £25 - £30 now just to get it cut up your shoulder and most places have stopped cutting it past your shoulders just to make more money from you, turkey is an angel compared to the UK lol. We rarely buy any clothes cos we already buy it all before we go that's why the stores are always so empty i guess plus a lot of the clothes there are smaller and probs won't fit me too well.
I know it's totally out of hand. My Kurdish barber here charges £10 for a haircut and £10 for a shave, but I never have a shave here anyway. We're not into designer brands so we don't really buy clothes anymore but Becky bought a few things from the fixed price department shops but overall we just popped down to chat and eat. Hope you enjoyed the vlog and thank you for taking the time to comment and watch!
@@ParksTravelGuide Someday i will get my haircut in turkey just to save £15 - £20 and i bet they'll cut it any length i want.
They do a good job as well. No rushing like over here!
Brilliant vlog! Couple of quick q's my friend, what is a decent price for fake football shirt in the bazaar? And also how much would i expect to pay for a sim card to use for a week in Turkey? Thanks in advance.
Hey Noz. Wow! You've really got us with these questions. As a rough estimate I'd say £15-20 for a football shirt but we've never bought one before. Our advice is to ask a few places and feel the quality...it's only worth what you are willing to pay. SIM card... another corker. We'll have to direct you to Google for this one and one of the many updated threads on there as we just use the WiFi which is basically everywhere as you'd imagine. There are different packages with the likes of Turkcell etc so you'd be best having a look as to what suits your needs. I'm sorry we can't help much beyond this but it happens from time to time.
Hi, today journey is a wonderful job
really amazing one , beautiful shopping experience in turkey ,
i have a problem who did you meet at the first there? was that beky's relation ☺️.
i love this vlogg and specially to your beautiful amazing accent.
Thanks Hanz! It is the man who is like my Turkish dad. Hope you are well!
@@ParksTravelGuide ya, im well thank you,
its nice to see that moment was beautiful. ☺️
Thanks for your guide so very helpful and was a great aid for our holiday.
You get questioned by every single shopkeeper and by the time you’ve gone passed 10 shops, you’re sick of saying “no thank you”. If you don’t buy, on occasion, be prepared to be hassled, intimidated, harassed. To be balanced there were some good experiences and bargains, just don’t accept the first price, haggle and if they don’t want your money go else where, there are hundreds of the shops selling the same thing.
We’ll definitely return, a bit thicker skinned and now armed with what we now know it will be an even better experience, thanks again 🤗
Hey Leo. Thanks for your lovely words. You're right in what you say and in fairness it does put a lot of people off...but we agree it can be tiring. Quality varies so always feel it before you buy it and double check the sizes of buying in bulk (like 10 boxers for £10) as sometimes they will throw mixed sizes in and hope you won't notice. We hope you've had a great trip and glad you will return to Turkiye. Thank you so much for watching! John & Becky x
Hi what colour was the kebab shop down been in the bazaar many times but never eaten there great video guys will be back out in oct
Hey Fred. In reality it doesn't have a colour for that section. It's basically at the top end in the middle of the bazaar, which probably makes no sense. You'd be best off asking a local for directions or Google map it.
It is by the mosque and PTT. Fantastic kebabs!
Ну что-ж, не плохо!
Большое спасибо
I also use Ali shop and Sedat haircut.. the best…
Good choices Niels! Thanks for commenting
We have been to Marmaris 20 years each year once or twice, you find some people and shops, they know you and you know them, and when you accept that they also have to make a living, and you get a good product and service, what is not to like.. enjoy the bazaar
Agree with you 100% Niels. The benefit of experience is knowing their prices are worth the quality of the item too
Nice video, maybe cuz they know you I was there on holiday no one offered me drinks at all in any of the shops in the bazaar lol not so much intimidating to go around but found them a bit pushy like trying to encourage you to buy more then what you want and I think they used to put the prices up so you’d pay far more then normal I walked out of one of the shops as I was gonna buy a bag till the other guy looked and laughed as if he was trying to say ha your paying for that haha they lost me as a customer cuz I went somewhere else.
Hey Julie. Some sellers can be a little more 'persuasive' than others. Generally all sellers originally quote a higher price as haggling is a way of life in Turkey, or any bazaar around the world for that matter. Often we can't be bothered so we use the fixed price shops which are featured in the main Marmaris vlog. Don't get us wrong there are plenty of sellers we don't buy from as often I know how much I want to pay for something. The clothing style had changed rapidly over the years so it's rare we buy clothes. Bags are about the only thing we generally come back with. Sorry to hear you've not had a great experience but if you go back have a shop around first to get prices as a baseline and then go in for the kill! Thanks for watching!
I get my haircut, the same place, and we shop with Ali…. Both nice places.. last time May 2022…
With you all the way on that Niels 👍🏼
Still dreaming about a haircut and shave and say hallo to friends in the bazaar/ they are friendly and good time spend during past 20 years..
Is siri converting this correctly for me? Was that meal you got at Yakar Bufe only $0.46 USD?? That can't be right! If so, I need to visit Turkey ASAP!! Everything looked so good! The turkish delights too!!
I think it got it wrong. It is about £2-3 off the top of our heads so about $4-5 maybe. The food out there is amazing, although some typical 'English' tourists went to traditional restaurants asking for Spaghetti Bolognese and stuff like that, which is always embarrassing even as an onlooker. Add Turkiye to your list as you won't be disappointed 👍🏼🇹🇷
@@ParksTravelGuide it’s on the list! We always look for places the locals go! Best way to experience different cultures! Thanks for sharing!
May I ask you how old you are, John? Just stumbled over your videos of Marmaris and you pretty much remind me of myself. 😂
I‘ve been in Marmaris 1997 for the first time and come back nearly every year since than.
So I also have a lot of pictures as a child with the locals, which they still love to see when I stop by.
Amazing to see how many of them still work there.
Anyway: Nice video with good insider spots for people that are „newer“ to Marmaris. (Hint: I‘ve never noticed the different roof colours 😂)
Keep up the good work and greetings from Germany
Guten Tag, Patty. I'm 37. A lot live there all year round but some still go back to Istanbul or other countries for the winter. In 2010 they tried making Marmaris a year round resort but winters there can be terrible. I went in January 2010 and it was deserted and like a ghost town with a lot of heavy rain and very strong wind. The minibus to and from the airport was mainly English girls seeing their Turkish boyfriends. It never worked as Antalya has better weather. The roof colours got painted some years ago to make it easier for tourists but in reality very few notice them for all the hawking that goes on. On one of our first home videos the bazaar looks very different and with no roof! Marmaris really has come a long way over the years. Danke for watching 🙂
Really enjoyed watching this vlog Turkish kebab looked amazing. All in all looked like a place I would visit.
It's the real deal Tony. Makes ours look dreadful
👍
Thanks Mustafa
How do you find way round? It's a maze! I know they have different colours but find it confusing... can u do a map?
The adventure side in it is just getting lost and finding your own way. Even we found new things this time. Basically just look for your long main streets and walk them. At the end turn left or right to form a square and head back up. There's too many cut throughs and narrow ones to do a map but the locals are generally helpful enough to guide you. Keep a shop as a reference point just incase you need to ask for guidance but in all honesty if you follow everyone else then you won't go far wrong and it's less daunting than you think. The Grand Bazaar in Istanbul is the biggest maze of them all! The Mosque is basically at the centre point of the bazaar and accessible from the tourist boat harbour (you'll walk past Yaprak Kebab where we had the fantastic Turkish kebabs in bread). Just throw yourself into it and never be afraid to ask for help. John & Becky x
👍👍👍
Thanks Murat 👍🏼
Like to smoke the occasional cigar is there any place you'd recommend?
Cigars are something we've never seen for sale to be fair as it's not a big market in Turkiye. It's best to take them with you. As for smoking them we can't envisage any issues as smoking is widely accepted as a cultural norm.
Any Hotel recommendations, All inc or bed and breakfast?
Hey Tariq. In fairness we only go self catering to Turkey as the all inclusive hotels can be fairly poor. The Green Nature hotels are probably the most popular along with Club Julian. With the AI ones they are usually a bit more set back in resort due to the size of them. Have a look at what some of the tour companies are offering and weigh it up. The beer is usually the cheapest possible and cocktails of poor quality from the feedback we've had from people. Chicken almost all the time too as it's cheap. Horses for courses though at the end of the day. One of our favourite places to stay is called the Ozturk Apartments which are in a good location a few minutes walk from the bazaar and dancing fountains but it's self catering only, however, they have a restaurant. Where we stayed at the Alkan (featured on our main Marmaris vlog) that's in the real touristy part. There are a number of hotels up that way and it's about a 20 minute walk to the bazaar. Hope some of the info helps!
Whats the barber shop called please? Im goint there in 3 weeks time, definitely want to go to that specific barber's thanks
That's a really good question. Looking on Google maps I think it's called Apameia hair studio although I've never really paid attention.
@@ParksTravelGuide perfect thanks for your reply!
hi John whats the weather like in april x
Hey. It's a bit mixed but often brings rain and cloud. Last year was strange though when we were in Istanbul in April, as was Greece. Didn't get above 12c which was really odd. Expect around the 19-20c mark and anything else is a bonus x
Where do you find t shirts that actually have turkey written on it, can only find sports t shirts, designer shirts, and football shirts. Any ideas.?.
Hey Corina. You can find these in a few shops in the bazaar if you ask them. It's mainly a tourist thing so there should be quite a few around. If someone hasn't got one they will generally know someone who has though.
@@ParksTravelGuide Thank us much we will be down there tomorrow and ask. Appreciate it.💕💕
Most welcome. Have an Efes or 3 for us! x
@@ParksTravelGuide Of course.🍺🍺🍺👍
maaaaaarrrmaris
Oooooh yeahhhh!
Can you share the name of the barber in Grand Bazzar please and some good qualty replica shops? Thanks
Hi Aled. I've never noticed a name on it to be honest, however, it's on street 42. The shops we feature heavily which are Ali's shop at the start of the vlog opposite Dennis shop and also Hussein's shop Ozturk for clothes are the ones we trust the most for quality and have never had a bad item in 30+ years. Erol shoes for excellent quality footwear too. There's plenty of choice in there so feel free to have a browse but always carefully look and feel at the item if buying from other retailers.
@@ParksTravelGuide brilliant, many thanks guys, greatly appreciated. Going out on 15th July. Also, your friend who has the Turkish Delight shop, is he also on 42 street?
It's still on that street but further down the other end of the bazaar. He's next door to the Ozturk shop and about 4 doors down from Erol Shoes. It's Erol's brother. If you head for the Mosque in the middle of the bazaar, keep it on your right hand side as you go past it to the next street and you'll come to it. Failing that then locals will give you directions.
would you recommend to take lira or euros?
Hey Josh. Lira and pounds. Lira for small purchases, pounds for shopping in the bazaar and if you're planning on nipping over to Rhodes on the ferry then you'll need some Euros for there. You'll get a slightly better rate changing pounds to lira in resort but it's marginal. Have a good trip!
Nice price for barber
It's not too bad Richard. It definitely makes you feel ripped off in the UK! £22 for a shave and haircut at the local Kurdish barbers and they don't do it half as good.
What's the quality of the fake clothing like in the bazzaaar and what'd a good price
Shops vary. The best way to find it is to feel the clothing you want to buy. Obviously the 10 boxers for £10 and 3 or 5 T shirts for £10 will be questionable as you'd imagine. Overall the businesses are generally proud with what they sell but I'd suggest you pay what you feel it's worth...if they can't do that price then they won't. They will always add about 25-50% onto your first price when you ask and then it's a playful game of haggling... don't be afraid to walk away as you can probably find it in another shop or even go back later if you have second thoughts. The £ in note form is king out there so keep that in mind. Hope it helps!
@@ParksTravelGuide thanks I don't mind paying £20 for the designer brands if they look legit compared to the £200 I pay over in the UK ha so I'm best taking some English pound notes out there with me aswell I'm staying in icmeler never been before looking forward to it loving the channel
Thanks very much Liam. What you see with us is what you get. You can get all kinds of copies and some are better than others. The better copies obviously cost more as you would expect. Yeah take GBP with you for shopping as you know what you are spending, they also take cards too if your supply runs a little lower than you'd like 👍🏼
Hi where is the best place to exchange money in Marmaris?
Hi Adrian. Any are generally ok, but as a word of caution convert the advertised rates prior to going in and you'll know if you are getting the right amount when you are at the counter. We used to use one near the roundabout by the Marina. These days we use our travel card to pay and also withdraw from ATM's so we don't tend to use exchange places.
Is it cheaper in marmaris than in istanbul please?
Definitely as there are a lot of offers on with it being a holiday resort. We have an Istanbul vlog coming in the next couple of weeks with the latest prices there too.
@Parks Travel Guide thank you so much. We're planning to visit marmaris in July, insha Allah ..
You should for sure! Do it! 🙂
I love Marmaris bazaar. Will be back in may 2024. One thing for sure im not following Becky to the toilet after all them chillies lmao.
Hahaha, she's a warrior for sure.
Would you pay everything in sterling? Im getting told different stories
Hey Anthony. We take sterling for if we buy any clothing in the bazaar but use lira and our travel card for everything else.
@@ParksTravelGuide Is there a reason you use pounds rather than lira in the bazaar?
As it's our currency it's more for simplicity for a quick haggle when buying clothes as it can be easy for people to get lost when converting on the spot. 9 times out of 10 it works out better to pay in pounds for Brits. I've paid in lira once in years gone by as I had no GBP and there was a noticeable difference between the prices given. They also don't mind it as they benefit a bit from the conversion when they exchange it. There's no hard and fast rule though as other nationalities pay in Euros also. It's purely personal preference.
@@ParksTravelGuide Thank you. I'm going to Icmeler on the 23rd and was just wondering, a friend recently went and apparently with the current exchange rate they aren't very interested in lira at the moment anyway, I'll end up just taking GBP now, with some Euros just in case. Thanks :)
They have always been more interested in foreign currency in the bazaar as locals get a favourable exchange rate when changing it to lira. Restaurants and bars are different though and lira is the norm. Hope you have a fantastic time!
I have been living in Marmaris for 1 year. I get lost every time bazaar.
Merhaba Mesut. It's easy to do! I still find different alleyways after all these years!
Hi I was wondering if you could recommend trainers shop that post to UK that is not to dear but goof quality
Hey Tori. Our good friend Erol who was featured either on this or our other Marmaris vlog does very good quality shoes and may post to the UK. If you can't get to Marmaris he has a page on Facebook where you can contact him and ask the question. His page is 'Erol Shose'. Hope it helps!
@@ParksTravelGuide thank you for your help 😊
No problem ☺️
@@ParksTravelGuide I have meassge him just waiting on a reply back
Who is the Man? Is it Ali. Bloody hell. I have seen him at last.
It certainly is Gianni
Cadburys lol. Its fry's Becky.
Cadburys does a version of it too. It's terrible!
True never make a promise to the Turkish 🤣🤣
They don't forget. I made the mistake once, he still reminds me about it to this day!
I think it is sumqk nor chilli haha
Probably Sumaç
Been in here many many times. Sometimes the vendors try and say is the girlfriend the boss if you say no thanks at buying any item to goad you into buying . Just be confident and stick to your own price you are prepared to pay. Can be a bit hectic imo. If you get a haircut get the price beforehand as they do try and add extras. Love marmaris but like any place be careful. Great channel hope to visit marmaris next year. Take care
Big Mike in the house! Great tips there, and all very true! Thanks for adding on.
Hi I'm a lone woman going to Marmaris ,Turkey and want to visit the bazaar will I get hassled much. I really don't want to use my unladylike voice to tell people to f***k off!😂
Hey Janet. We can't lie and say you'll get nobody ask you to look in their shops as that's how it is at the bazaar but it's not anywhere near as bad as in Arabic countries. A polite but firm no usually works fine, but if they persist don't be afraid to just keep walking as it does get tiresome and really slows your pace. Just don't tell them you'll be back if you have no intention to as the Turks will hold you to your word and never forget. Hope you have a great time!
Where's the best place for trainers in Marmaris please?
Hey Denny. In the bazaar there's a place we filmed called Erol shoes. It was the clip where he was busy so we didn't stop but went back another day to see him. It's near the mosque anyway. He's a good guy and me and him go back years. Hope it helps 👍🏼
Got ripped off in Bazaar
Really? What was it you bought?
Marmaris / Blackpool 😂, 🤔, same place just better weather, Turkey loves a good old Northerner to buy their fake crap 😂
Oh come on...everyone knows Benners is twinned with Blackpool 😆
The barber butcher you your bleeding all over.
Yeah he wasn't the best sadly. Must be new 😆
don't believe it, everything there is expensive
Some things are Viliam, but if you go to the fixed price shops you know exactly what you are paying. 10 pairs of copy Calvin Klein boxers for £10 or 3 T-shirts for £10 isn't expensive but the quality can vary as you would expect for a lower price. We have had some real bargains in years gone by. Things are only worth what people will pay, but given the price of the retail price of the designer brands, people will pay a reasonable amount for a good copy.
It’s a no go for me they are very rude and some follow you
Some can be but the good vendors in there more than make up for it. Thanks for watching!
I am traveling here next month. Loving your videos, very helpful. I have subscribed the channel and followin you on instagram too. Would you recommended carrying pounds or euros or local currency. Thanks
Hey Ranjit. Thanks very much for your support. We usually take pounds but if we plan on nipping over to Rhodes on the ferry you'll need euros. Both are accepted in Turkey although the only cash we carry is lira incase we go into any small bars. Occasionally we have GBP for shopping with so we know what we are spending. The rest of the time it's our Revolut or starling travel card. Hope you have a great time!
What was the weather like in July
35c+ sometimes even touching 40c. August is relentless with the heat. We filmed this during a June and it was 36c then
