This year, during my vacation, I visited the Konakli market. I will not hide my disappointment. I was also in this market a few years ago. At that time, it really was an oriental bazaar - cheerful, delicious, with humor and bargaining. Now it has noticeably sunk in all parameters. The sellers became angry, not very friendly. Not all of them, of course. But we saw some unpleasant merchants (they even sent Germans to three funny letters....) there is no point in going to this market, since the store also has the same price. Well, maybe a dollar cheaper. So the store has air conditioning, polite sellers. And here it's stuffy, crowded and rude sellers. The normal ones were those who spoke neither Russian nor English, but only Turkish. So we bought something for ourselves from them. It was just nice to buy from them. That's such a perdimonocle...
