Ankara's Castle Kale has been a trade center for centuries, and its sellers of carpets, leather and antiquities are slowly moving upwards hoping to attract the tourist trade. It's still a delicious place for walking and browsing, and there are family firms where you can buy, for a price, excellent carpets and kilims. Walking down from the Castle you can walk through the covered market, an iron structure reminiscent of places like Les Halles in Paris, where you can buy very cheap and excellent produce. Ankara has a number of large shopping malls each of them offering fashion stores including Zara, Mango, Harvey Nichols, Marks and Spencer ets., technology retailers like Media Markt, Electro World etc. markets like Carrefoursa, Tesco/Kipa etc.. Many of the new malls are located on the EskiÅehir Yolu, including Armada, Cepa, Kentpark and Gordion.
