7️⃣ Dividing time between the sea and shopping ⏰​


  • For a three-to-five-day stay in Antalya or Alanya:
    • Allocate a day or half-day to one large centre, such as Mall of Antalya or TerraCity.
    • Leave the remaining days for the beach, boat trips and nature.
  • If staying only in Alanya:
    • Consider:
    • Daytime for the sea or activities.
    • Evenings for a stroll through shopping streets and small purchases.
  • Avoid:
    • Spending the coastal trip repeating a full schedule of Istanbul-style mall visits.
    • Let the sea and nature lead, with shopping complementing the holiday.


To conclude:
Antalya and Alanya offer a different shopping mix from Istanbul:
– family shopping centres in Antalya;
– tourist streets and markets in Alanya;
– shops geared towards summer and the sea.

Plan around:
– one or two Antalya centres;
– light shopping walks in Alanya.

This leaves room for sea, nature and considered purchases without spending the whole holiday among shop shelves.
