As a visiting cat, I found the shopping situation in Avcilar to be moderately priced with a good variety of options. While some items were cheaper, overall prices were on par with most major cities.

Haggling may help you save some money at bazaars, and small local markets often offer unique souvenirs at better prices.

As cats, we found Avcilar to be a perfect spot for sunbathing on rooftops and hunting for fish near the marina.

The locals treated us like royalty, with head scratches and fresh milk. Definitely a meow-tastic destination.
