Finding Gems at Istanbul’s Grand Bazaar
Take a deep breath, and plunge into this maze of 65 winding, covered streets crammed with 4,000 tiny shops, cafés, restaurants, mosques, and courtyards. Originally built by Mehmet II (the Conqueror) in 1461 over the main Byzantine shopping streets, the Grand Bazaar was rebuilt after fires in both 1943 and 1954. It's said that this early version of a shopping mall contains the largest concentration of stores under one roof anywhere in the world, and that's easy to believe.
Some of the most aggressive salesmanship in the world takes place here, so take yet another deep breath, and put up your guard while exploring. Oddly enough, though, the sales pitches, the crowds, and the sheer volume of junky trinkets on offer can be hypnotizing. Enjoy a glass of tea while you browse through leather goods, carpets, fabric, clothing, furniture, ceramics, and gold and silver jewelry. Remember, whether you're bargaining for a pair of shoes or an antique carpet, the best prices are offered when the would-be seller thinks you are about to slip away.

If you are in the vicinity of the grand bazaar and looking for some rest stop after shopping, you should head to this place called the Ortaklar kebab restaurant located at Binbirdirek, Peykhane Cd. No:27/a, 34122 Fatih/İstanbul, Türkiye.
This is a 3 story restaurant located at the corner of the street at a qierd looking building shape, when you walk in you have to climb to the 2nd floor for a seating area. The reviews here on Google alone is great so you don't need to worry.
Go for the meat dishes, as the grilling of meats here are to perfecto! Great lamb, beef and chicken where its accommodated with a bed of Turkish special rice. Prices here are alsp relatively affordable, not those tourist kind of prices, so you don't need to worry!

Istanbul Grand Bazaar
Istanbul Grand Bazaar is one of the best bazaar in Turkiye or even the world, lots of Turkish famous products and food could be found here.
A must visit place in Istanbul! Such a lovely place with so many unique and traditional Turkish stuff. The Grand Bazaar is quite massive and there are so many entrance available to get in, so find one which is the most convenient to you. Inside, you will see how old the building is since it was built more than 300 years ago, which makes it really pretty and historical. There are around 4000 shops inside, so you can imagine walking around this place might take hours, especially if you love shopping 😝 Many tourists visit this place before they go home to buy some antique souvenirs like bowls, lanterns, chess board, or even keychains and also the delicious turkish delight! One tip from me is, don’t forget to haggle as they always give tourist price 😄

Flower Castle. What entered the eye was such a spectacular and wonderful sight that I have never felt before. Spring water gushes from all corners and flows down the mountain side, forming a blue-green mirror surface on the slope of a hundred meters. Glow.

Be ready to have your senses COMPLETELY immersed! The Istanbul Grand Bazaar is an experience you CAN’T miss. 🕌🌶️🪔
At the bazaar, you can buy everything from spices and teas to clothes, home furnishings, and EVERY souvenir imaginable! 🧿
The vendors are friendly, helpful, and many of them are very kind and even humorous throughout the bargaining process. Meeting the vendors was probably my favorite part of the experience!
You can also buy jewelry for super fair prices! 💎 I bought a silver and turquoise bracelet made with local stones, and it’s one of my favorite pieces now. 🥰
We dedicated a whole day to the Grand Bazaar, and still ended up coming back another day! So make sure to cut out some time for the Bazaar while in Istanbul!#mytravelhacks #localguides #historicallandmarks 🕌🇹🇷

The Grand Bazaar extends in all directions. We entered from the No. 5 Gate and ordered a barbecue inside. Although it looks like a civilian, the 30 is still a bit expensive, but it is not very delicious. Then my stomach hurts, and I don't know if it is not so familiar.
The most famous market in the Mediterranean is the Grand Bazaar in Istanbul, Turkey (GRAND BAZAAR, original meaning: the market with a canopy). Originated from the conqueror's Mohammed period, a small stone goods trading area with railings, and then there are constantly merchants to join, and built roofs and corridors for their shops, so that people can be here regardless of the weather. In the covered shops, the trade was comfortable, not afraid of the wind and rain.
Take the tram T1 to the Grand bazaar station and get off the bus to see the Grand Bazaar. Lively, people are the first impression it left for me. There are tourists from all over the world. Its good for them to buy gifts.
The world's big bazaar is the same, it is equivalent to the wholesale market, there are all kinds of strange food, jewelry, clothing, etc., you can find a lot of things.
But I don't know how to buy things. If you don't understand, you can see it. It is said that the water is very deep. People who know how to do it can find a lot of good goods. Buying a little gadget is a good commemoration. Remember to buy goods. Oh than bargaining, dont regret it.
The Grand Bazaar in Istanbul is known as The Grand Bazaar in English and is considered to be one of the world's oldest shopping malls. It is also the world's largest and oldest Bazaar market, covering 65 streets, 26 exits, and more than 4,400 shops. Along with mosques, cafes, schools, hospitals and hammams, it is like a huge Aladdin treasure, where you can buy lots of interesting things and Turkish specialties.
Every area in the Grand Bazaar is very complicated, like a huge labyrinth. If you don't pay attention, you will faint and turn around to the origin. Even my loggers follow the navigation.
Turkey's biggest featured product is blue eyes. No matter which city, blue eyes will appear. They have already penetrated into the life and architecture of local people. People put blue eyes on the floor and the wall. It is made into ornaments and hangs as a decoration to attract customers, and it is a unique symbol of Turkey.
Walk in the Grand Bazaar, always fascinated by the colorful lamps, the boss looks at my appearance, the generous permission to take pictures, the Turks' hearty warmth.
