1. Manavgat Town Center
Manavgat Town Center teems with shops, especially on Mondays and Thursdays. It is probably the top shopping destination in Side as tourists are seen flocking here in great numbers. Just as you pass by them, you could hear them haggling for the best price. This is actually the best way to shop around here because the shoppers normally deliberately put a hefty tag on an item so that even if the buyer haggles, he could adjust his or her profit. Sneaky, but this is where the main shopping fun of Side lie.
