The pazar is each Monday fresh vegetable and fruits .
empfehlenswert
Lovely place.
They keep cute cats around the mall
Good range of clothes, food, home, fruits stores for men woman and kids.
Very cheap prices you can not miss out if you want to visit.
Most stores speak English.
Sells underwear, socks, bags, perfumes etc.
Fotoğraf eski durumu yansıtıyor. Yeni hali çok daha iyi. Kadınların imece işlettiği kafeler ve zevkli el emeği satan dükkanlar ile çağdaş bir pasaj

Pretty cool place. Worth a trip to have a walk through.

Only around a 5/10 minute walk through the market but loads of spices to see as well as the venue being beautiful.

Not far from the park and palace.

Busy place with fun shopping options. Diverse variety, not all spices for sure. If you are buying spices have them provide a rolling total of your charges as you go so you don't get a surprise at the end.

Stunning - one do the best places to visit.

Each shop sells similar things at different prices- do your research by walking around before buying.

The place itself is amazing and can easily spend 2-3hrs here
It is a relatively small shopping mall compared to some others but that does not mean your favorite brands may not be available. There are some cafés on the ground floor near the entrance and the shops are on other floors. The mall is clean and well-ventilated. There are elevators to navigate between different floors and shops are accessible from different sides. Also it has some decorations here and there making it more beautiful. It is located within Kadikoy in Kozyataği neighborhood. Parking can be an issue since there is not much space available outside. Also I did not find any parking lot for the mall
Nice anf cozy shopping mall even the name suggests that. Having some cafés and clothing stores make it a useful option in the neighborhood
Sabit pazar ismi oraya göre değil,,,,o isim yıllar evveline uygun....
Şimdi orası special butik ,,,,herşey pahalı
Sözüm ana Kadıköy Belediyesi.

Absolutely loved visiting the bazaar, which to my surprise, was extremely well maintained, clean and organized. The stalls are all beautifully arranged and a sight to see. And unlike my expectations, vendors were respectful and not overly pushy. Definitely worth the experience!

It was a wonderful experience to see the Bazaar for the most part but extremely busy and be prepared to try to be invited into every shop you go by. Unfortunately one of our party suffered a thief when their currency was switched out for fake notes while a very over zealous taxi driver was assisting him with his currency for a taxi fare when leaving the bazaar so be cautious.

The architecture is amazing and the market is humongous. The market is only good for doing window shopping and I would not advice one to buy anything from here actually. The prices are inflated too much considering it is a very ‘touristy’ spot and thus one should avoid buying from here. It is generally famous for buying spices, raw nuts and even jewellery items

The Grand Bazaar and the Egyptian Bazaar are two of Istanbul's most popular markets, and they offer visitors a unique shopping and culinary experience. Located close to each other, these two bazaars are not to be missed if you're looking to explore the city's vibrant markets.

The Grand Bazaar is one of the largest covered markets in the world, with over 4,000 shops selling everything from textiles and ceramics to jewelry and souvenirs. It's a bustling hub of activity, and the maze-like streets can be overwhelming at first, but it's an exhilarating experience to wander through the narrow alleys and discover the hidden gems within. The vendors are friendly and welcoming, and bargaining is a must if you want to get the best deals.

The Egyptian Bazaar, also known as the Spice Bazaar, is a smaller market located just a few minutes' walk from the Grand Bazaar. As its name suggests, it specializes in spices, but you'll also find a range of other products such as Turkish delight, dried fruits, and nuts. The aroma of the spices is intoxicating, and it's a great place to pick up some unique ingredients for your own cooking or as gifts for friends and family.

One of the unique features of both markets is the opportunity to eat as you shop. The Grand Bazaar has a number of small cafes and restaurants where you can stop for a traditional Turkish tea or coffee, or even a full meal. The Egyptian Bazaar also has a few food stalls where you can sample some local snacks and sweets.

Overall, the Grand Bazaar and the Egyptian Bazaar are both must-visit destinations for anyone visiting Istanbul. They offer a rich cultural experience, with colorful displays of traditional items and lively interactions with local vendors. Whether you're a seasoned traveler or a first-time visitor to Turkey, these markets are sure to leave a lasting impression.

Note 📝!

Additionally, it's a good idea to have Turkish Lira on hand when shopping at these markets, as some vendors may only accept local currency. You can exchange your currency at the bazaar , I think it’s the best rates.

Busy market and a better one than Grand Bazaar, in my opinion. There are lots of colours and smells here abd its great for photo opportunities. The prices are more or less fixed, so not much negotiating is available. It is located right outside the mosque so it's easy to find.

What an experience. A must do when I’m Istanbul. Far better prices and far better custom relations then the Grand Bazaar. Can be a lot of the same things but not as bad as the Grand. Don’t forget to work on the price. They see tourists coming and are not afraid to push the price up. While it may still be cheap they will go down by 100 or even 200 Lira. A great experience.

Located in the old part of the city, the market looks amazing. The decorations are super nice, the stalls are filled with goods and everything is very tidy. Great place to get things like spices, dried fruit, Turkish delights, etc. I just walked through here with a tour group but did not buy anything. Nice place to walk through and check out, crazy how this is the market for hundreds of years.
This is a bazar bad location i don’t think it worth the journey fool of clothes very cheap bargain
The best Pazar in Istanbul

One of the most colorful places in all of turkiye. All shops are decorated as a piece of art. Can be super tempting for shopaholic. The choices for spices, sweets and artifacts are amazing. Must visit when the market is in its full glory. Don't forget to bargain as every item is over priced as compared to market price. A delight for the color lovers, highly recommended.
Minimal shopping center inside a lovely neighbuorhood. Easy to handle daily tasks quickly.

Loads of knock-off copies of branded clothing. The aeroplane coming back was full of people in their 40 Euro Moncler and/Canada Goose gear 😅. Expect to pay just over half their first price.

In appropriately touched my wife a number of times. Asked her for her WhatsApp number. Avoid.
Pretty average kind of a mall. Same old brands you see everywhere. Nothing special. The architecture is pretty decent.

Too many people. Too many salesmen, it's impossible to approach a booth without a treatment from them. Better not to visit.

This is a legendary place, the sweet bazaar. I love being there. Although in recent years some kind of reform has taken place there, and now everything there does not look so epic and classic as before. All boutiques have become similar to one another. And this particular store does not stand out from the others.
Small but as it's name it's a really cosy place
There is a big Migros for shopping and all the.good brands. İf you don't want to lose in a huge malls this is your place
Very cosy mall quiet and not so crowded with coffeeshop with terrace for smoking
Organic food I like

Be prepared to be bombarded by the stall holders, you only need to glance in their direction and they pounce on you and follow you. It's very hard to Try and enjoy the experience.

Jammer van sommige marktkramers die de markt verpesten met het hun soms agressief gedrag en mensen die de prijzen nog nie kennen op te lichten opgelet anders eens de moeite om te doen
As its name suggest, it is a cossy place, small but relaxing and functional shopping mall. there are only moderate to low priced brands but they are enough if you dont look for special brand. food court is much more limited, at 11:15 the staff were sitting in groups eating lunch and they dont even say that it will open at 12, very ignorant. as a food it only has kfc, chicken world and sushi express. it also has a cinema and wellknown turkish confectionary (pelit). Another problem is that you cant find taxi waiting outside.

Wonderful area in Side right next to the sea. Plenty to shops and restaurants to visit.
Definitely go see this amazing Bazaar but take it from me-buy your spices from the souk right outside. I think it's called Tahtakale. It's entrance is at the Mehmetefendi coffee store. The prices for spices and tons of other goodies and gifts is way way way way way way way way way...should I go on.....cheaper than in the Spice bazaar. I learned the hard way. If you have the urge to buy from inside then go to store number 39!! Trustworthy, hospitable and super friendly.

Mooie grote markt met lage prijzen, achter de marktkramen ook eettentjes, daar zijn de prijzen wel wat hoger. Maar heerlijk gegeten
Some places are ok. Some are not.

One of my favorite spots on the historic peninsula of Istanbul. It is not totally touristic, there are still some shops and products for local people as well. This keeps the space alive.

There is virtually nothing you wouldn't find in this place. The environment is clean. Be prepared to go through human traffic due to busy nature of the market. I didn't visit the toilet to ascertain how clean it is, or if they have at all.
In this market, goods are segmented according to categories. If you want the high price or its equivalent low price. Again, it is a market for both rich & poor.

Easy access for locals, convenient and quick shopping experience. There is a MM Migros supermarket inside it, cinema complex, cafes, restaurants etc. On weekends it is hard to find parking space for cars. At least you need to wait 10-15 minutes but on weekdays there are plenty of them so it is better to walk or get taxi for weekends.
