Malgaca Market — Urla's permanent central market
Malgaca is the historic covered market in Hacı İsa right next to Art Street. Unlike weekly neighbourhood markets it is not tied to a specific day — most vendors open every weekday. Daily fresh shopping for vegetables, fruit, cheese, olives, olive oil, fish, nuts, spices and regional jams. Some vendors may close Sundays; call ahead if you're planning a day trip around it.
