Where to buy fresh figs and local halva in Antalya without tourist markup (Lara / Konyaaltı area)?
Based on 2 discussions with 3 participants · Last activity: 5 days ago
TL;DR
Figs near hotels in Konyaaltı can cost up to 500 TRY/kg — that's inflated tourist pricing, and the local weekly market doesn't always stock them, so it's worth checking small greengrocers; for specific halva varieties in the Lara area, small local shops (bakkal/tatlıcı) are a better bet than supermarkets.
What the community said
Near a hotel in the Konyaaltı area, figs were priced at 500 TRY/kg — clearly inflated tourist pricing, worth looking further away from the hotel strip.

Even the regular local market (pazar) in Konyaaltı had no figs in stock that day — supply is inconsistent, so it's worth checking several spots or asking at small greengrocers (manav).

For a specific type of halva in the Lara district, small local sweet shops (tatlıcı) or grocery stores (bakkal) nearby are recommended over supermarkets.

General tip: fresh fruit and local sweets in Antalya are cheaper and more varied at neighborhood weekly markets (semt pazarı) than from vendors near hotels — market days vary by district, so it's worth checking the schedule.
