There is a great variety of Malatya’s original souvenirs.
Among these are textile products like table-cloths, curtains and hand-painted handkerchiefs; brightly coloured carpets, kilims and light rugs, traditionally crafted copper kitchenware; wooden spoons and gum gum (churns).
Apricots, the region’s most famous product, also offer themselves in many varieties, and the streets are filled with apricots which have been desiccated, frozen, made into preserves and jams, marmalade and cream, pickled and pulped.
The city’s main shopping areas are Kapali Bazaar, Copper artisans Bazaar, Desiccated Apricot Bazaar, Atatürk and Inönü Caddesi.
