Acerca de
Datos rápidos: Al entrar, aromas de cúrcuma, comino y menta inundan los pasillos, y montones de especias apiladas en conos parecen pequeñas obras de arte. Más de ochenta comerciantes guardan recetas familiares y suelen ofrecer muestras gratis, así que la visita se siente como una ruta de degustación entre tés, dulces y frutos secos.
Destacados: Imagínate pasillos donde el aire pesa a azafrán, comino y pétalos de rosa, con montones de especias apilados en sacos que a veces llegan a 1,5 metros de altura, mostrando tonos naranja, rojo y ocre. Construido entre 1664 y 1667 para financiar la mezquita Yeni, todavía hoy los vendedores ofrecen muestras gratis y negocian 'a ojo' con cucharas y balanzas antiguas, una escena que parece sacada de otro siglo.
Consejos de expertos
- Wear comfortable shoes, the bazaar's alleys are cobbled and can get very crowded.
- Photograph the colorful spice pyramids near the Rüstem Pasha Mosque entrance for the best shots.
- Ask to smell or taste products before buying, and avoid purchases of pre-ground 'saffron' unless a certificate is provided.
- Shop early on weekdays or late afternoon to dodge cruise-ship crowds; carry a small reusable bag for purchases.
