2 Best Places to Shop in Gümüşlük, The Central and Southern Aegean Coast

Designer Şükran Uyar, a longtime fixture at the Gümüşlük handicrafts market, now has her own shop selling cotton beachwear and other textile goods, mostly with colorful block-printed designs.

This charming, airy shop is filled with beautiful objects—lamps, bowls, notebooks, jewelry—made from paper by a friendly and talented husband-and-wife team. Graphic designer Tuna and former art teacher Uta are happy to chat about their work; they also sell some paintings, sculptures, and other pieces by other artists, but, they say, “only things we like looking at ourselves.” Open year-round except when they’re traveling to buy more unique papers from all over the world.
