Mercado egipcio

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.

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.

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.

Interesting market. I prefer this market to the grand bazaar.

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.

Awesome vibe at this bustling market where you will find an amazing variety of consumables displayed in the most appetizing way
