Once known as Telatiye, Konakli is
now a fast growing holiday resort on the Mediterranean coast of
Turkey known as the Turkish Riviera.
Konakli and much of the surrounding area
is flat with no steep hills to climb. This makes the resort an ideal
location for people with walking difficulties.
Every Wednesday, the holiday resort of Konakli is host to the popular Konakli outdoor market.
The market is right on your
doorstep making it easy to buy gifts and presents without the need
for any transportation. Just make sure that you have enough room in
your suitcase for the many bargains you will find. With the huge
range of fresh fruit and vegetables available, it is also a great
opportunity to get your weekly shopping at knockdown prices.
