Konyaaltı is a district in the Antalya Province, Turkey. The name "Konyaaltı" (pronounced [konja.aɫtɯ]), originates from the expression of "koy altı", which in the Turkish language means "the cove down the cliffs".

The district is situated beneath the old city of Antalya, and extends miles toward the west, with various kinds of beaches including sand and shingle. The water is a little cooler compared to other beaches in Antalya because of an underground creek flowing to the sea. There are modern underground facilities for aesthetic reasons. Transportation is easy by means of buses. Destinations are reachable by foot as well.

The market works on Tuesdays. It is situated in Liman. Here is the list of some groceries available at the market:[2][3]
