About this audio guide
This guide to the Old Bazaar in Antalya traces Uzun Carsi, the Long Market Street, from its Roman-era origins near Hadrian's Gate through Byzantine, Seljuk, and Ottoman rule. You'll hear how the Ottomans organized the market by craft, and how street names like Tuzcular still mark where merchants once traded salt. A tip: expect a shop owner to offer you tea before you've bought anything.
