We spent a wonderful evening wandering around the stalls of the Cleopatra Beach Craft Market. Its one of the great things about Turkey, you never have to spend money to enjoy yourself. So many things to see and so many parks, gardens and features which are paid for my the council and cost nothing to enjoy!

We were only going for a walk by Cleopatra Beach and ended up learning about traditions and local crafts simply by browsing the local street market and watching the artisans making souvenirs, trinkets and products right there in front of us.
Here are all the movies we took on this warm September Summer’s evening in Alanya Turkey. Walk with us along the stalls and browse!
