What to buy in Antalya - local supermarket finds and duty-free shopping tips

Coffee as a gift: in October 2026 a traveler said she bought Mehmet Efendi for a friend, while a small shop in Kemer offered her a very aromatic whole-bean coffee at 1,500 TRY per 500 grams — the seller joked that Mehmet Efendi is for friends and this one is for yourself. Another participant warned that Mehmet Efendi is often counterfeited.

What people take home: in August 2026 a participant said she brings olive oil, Saint Nicholas wine and sweets sold by weight from Turkey — things, in her words, you cannot find back home.

Raki at departure duty-free in Turkey costs from 6 euros upward, a participant said in August 2026. She noted that you then have to carry the bottles, which sometimes means excess baggage.

In July 2026 travelers bought chilled trout — jokingly dubbed 'Turkish catfish' — at the Migros supermarket in the Liman area. They salted some and made fish soup from the rest, and called the price pleasant.

And on a lighter note: in July 2026 a traveler joked that he used to bring relatives a liter of olive oil as a souvenir, and now brings a liter of 95-octane gasoline.
