TL;DR
Real butter in Antalya is rarely found at markets and is not stocked in every Migros, a local participant said in August 2026, so it is better to look for specific brands than for a particular shop. Turkish butter is often made with a starter culture, which can give it a slightly tangy taste that many people mistake for margarine.
Where to look: a participant said in August 2026 that she had never seen butter at a market, and that not every Migros store carries it.
She advises not to waste effort hunting for a particular shop but to try the different brands suggested in the discussion: butters taste different, and it is easier to find one you like by trying several.
Why it may taste like margarine: in Turkey butter is often made with a starter culture, so it can taste slightly tangy, and many people mistakenly take it for margarine. Even the same brand can taste different from one batch to another.
Another participant added that the culture used in production enriches the flavour and does not lower the butter's quality. Butter made without it is tasty too, just different, so the choice comes down to personal taste.
