To get the best produce, and have an authentic Turkish bazaar experience, visit Yalova's bazaar. The bazaar is opposite the ferry terminal on the seafront. (Take dolmuş to İDO.) Though a permanent structure, the bazaar is only open on Monday, Wednesday, and Saturday. A huge and superb selection of very fresh, mainly locally grown fruit and vegetables, plus a good selection of other stalls selling everything from kitchen utensils to underwear, can be found here. Surrounding the bazaar, is a maze of stalls specializing in such things as clothing, housewares, linens, shoes, lingere, and cheeses. These stalls are open daily.
Yalova has most of the (international) chain stores that can be found throughout Turkey on its cobbled street, Gazi Paşa Caddesi. Clothing stores include Colin's, LC Waikiki, Polo Assn., Seven Hill, and Mavi. Shopping here is okay, but variety pales in comparison with what can be found in Bursa and Istanbul. For people who need to do serious shopping, it might be worth the ferry or bus ride to better malls.
