Luxury Shopping in Kalkan: What to Buy

Kalkan's winding streets are a shopper's paradise (and a wallet's nightmare). The quality here is significantly higher than in typical tourist resorts.

What to Look For

• Leather Goods: Kalkan is famous for its leather. Handbags, belts, and jackets are often handmade and of exceptional quality. Look for shops like 'Class Leather'.
• "Genuine Fakes": Yes, it's a thing. High-quality replicas of designer bags and watches are openly sold and are often indistinguishable from the originals to the untrained eye.
• Jewelry: Artisan silversmiths create unique, modern pieces. You can often have custom designs made in a few days.
• Carpets & Kilims: For a true investment, look for vintage Turkish carpets. The shop owners are knowledgeable and will ship to your home country.
