Where to buy Turkish sweets in Antalya at local prices instead of tourist-shop prices in Kaleiçi?

TL;DR
Sweets in Kaleiçi are usually pricier, so better-value shopping is typically in regular supermarkets and non-tourist stores outside the old town. Besides classic lokum, travelers also look for halva spread and boxed candies like Citron or Lastochka as gift options.
