Grocery Shopping & Supermarkets in Alanya

Whether you're self-catering, topping up snacks and drinks, or just after some water and sun cream, it helps to know your way around groceries in Alanya. There's everything from big supermarkets like Migros and Carrefour to budget chains and lovely fresh local markets — and, when you'd rather not trek out in the heat, you can even have it delivered to your hotel. Here's the lowdown.

The supermarkets

• Migros — a major national chain and the strongest supermarket in the Türkler resort area; good range, quality and reliability.
• Carrefour — large stores (there's one in Alanyum mall), great for a big shop and imported bits.
• BİM, A101 & ŞOK — budget chains dotted everywhere; smaller, cheaper, great for basics, water and snacks.
• Local mini-markets — handy corner shops near most hotels for day-to-day bits (often a little pricier for convenience).

What's cheap, what's not

Local produce and Turkish products are good value — fresh fruit and veg, bread, olives, cheese, yoghurt, store-brand staples. Imported and branded goods (familiar UK brands, imported alcohol) cost more, sometimes a lot more. For the cheapest basics, the budget chains (BİM, A101, ŞOK) are unbeatable; for choice and quality, the big Migros and Carrefour stores win. For the broader cost picture, see prices in Alanya.

Fresh produce: hit the markets

For the best fresh fruit and vegetables — cheap, seasonal and delicious — the weekly local markets beat the supermarkets, and they're a great experience too. Each area has its day; see Alanya market days. Supermarkets are the year-round, any-time fallback.

Self-catering essentials

If you're in an apartment or villa, the big supermarkets cover everything you need — fresh food, store cupboard basics, household bits, water and toiletries. A first-day "big shop" at a Migros or Carrefour, topped up with market produce and corner-shop bits, is the easy approach. See hotel, apartment or villa.

Don't fancy carrying it back? Get it delivered

Here's the easy option, especially in the heat or with tired kids: you can have groceries delivered straight to your hotel or apartment — a Migros shop, water, snacks, breakfast bits, soft drinks and more — without lugging bags back from the store. It's handy for self-caterers, families stocking up, or just topping up the fridge for a night in. See our delivery service, commission-free. You can even add familiar food or a coffee to the same order.

Handy tips

• Bring a bag — carriers are charged, and a foldaway shopper is handy.
• Buy water in big bottles — cheaper than lots of small ones; stick to bottled water.
• Cash or card both fine in supermarkets; budget chains may prefer cash.
• Check use-by dates on fresh items as you would at home.
• Stock up on sun cream locally if you've run low — supermarkets carry it (often cheaper than the hotel shop).
