"Marmaris is beautiful but went to market prices are higher thank uk and if we leave shop without buy they insults and very rude behaviour."
Shamaila Saeed
"Terrible obsessive sales. They bargain endlessly and if you haven’t bought anything from them, they insult you. Do not spoil your impression, avoid this place, everything that is sold there can be bought at a supermarket much cheaper."
