TL;DR

For edible souvenirs, look for Kebir Topak Tereyağı butter at A101, buy kaymak at local markets, and add lokum, baklava or packaged sweets. Pack butter in an insulated bag if taking it in checked luggage.

What the community said

If baklava feels too sweet, try fruit-flavoured lokum with a tangy note; it can be a lighter alternative to traditional nut-filled sweets.

Fruit lokum

For rich, traditional-style butter, check A101 supermarkets for Kebir Topak Tereyağı. It is a good-value option for toast or porridge; carry it in an insulated bag inside checked luggage when flying.

Kebir Topak Tereyağı, A101

Buy kaymak at Antalya’s local markets. It is a thick, rich dairy spread similar to very heavy cream, excellent with simit or desserts, though it is not quite a replacement for regular butter.

Kaymak, local markets

For inexpensive sweet gifts, choose packaged chocolates, candies, wafer biscuits and dulce de leche-style condensed milk. Factory-sealed supermarket products are the easiest to pack and take home.
