Konya Metropolitan Municipality, weekly neighbourhood markets, checked 20.10.2026 · the municipality’s live list

Weekly markets and how to read the list

The municipality names each market after its neighbourhood and writes the address in its own order: neighbourhood, street, then a landmark. Of the 56 market days it labels 5 Tuhafiye (haberdashery and notions), 10 Sebze (vegetables) and 5 Kapalı (covered); some carry two labels, and the rest carry none.

Illustration: a weekly market on an apartment street, striped stalls with crates of tomatoes, aubergines, leeks and lemons on one side and rolls of fabric, spools of thread and jars of buttons on the other, two shoppers walking away with a basket and a cloth bag
Illustration: a weekly market street, vegetables on one side and fabric and thread on the other.

Several markets keep one street and change their goods by the day, so the day decides what is on the stalls:

  • Araplar – vegetables (Sebze) on Monday; notions (Tuhafiye) on Wednesday.
  • Melikşah – notions (Tuhafiye) on Monday; vegetables (Sebze) on Wednesday.
  • Muhacir – notions (Tuhafiye) on Tuesday; vegetables (Sebze) on Saturday and Sunday.
  • Akşemsettin – vegetables (Sebze) on Saturday; notions (Tuhafiye) on Sunday. All of its days are covered.

The addresses use a few Turkish words again and again:

The old bazaars Bedesten and Türbe Önü

The municipality rebuilt two bazaar quarters in the old centre. The Bedesten, Konya’s historic covered bazaar, was renewed under its Mevlana Cultural Valley project; Türbe Önü (“in front of the tomb”) replaced the old Mevlana and Altın bazaars next to Mevlana Square. Every number below is the municipality’s project figure.
