- Wear comfortable shoes, the bazaar's alleys are cobbled and can get very crowded.
- Photograph the colorful spice pyramids near the R├╝stem 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.
