The Grand Bazaar in Istanbul Turkey is worth the visit for the visual feast it provides. And maybe you will find a few things that catch your eye and will make a great souvenir. Just be prepared to haggle your pants off, because it is obviously geared towards tourists, and the prices usually start much higher than what it's worth. Regardless I would recommend going just for the experience of seeing the huge variety of goods for sale, and the way some of the shops are set up to show off their goods. Go. Enjoy. Have fun with haggling, and be prepared to say no thank you, and walk away if you feel like you are being taken advantage of.
