Om
Raske fakta: En travel labyrint av livlige boder fyller luften med fortryllende dufter av safran, kanel og alle tenkelige krydder, og gjør opplevelsen til en fest for sansene. Kundene finner ofte sjeldne urter, eksotiske teer og tradisjonelle tyrkiske søtsaker gjemt blant fargerike krydder og håndlagde håndverk.
Høydepunkter: Når du går gjennom basaren, legger du merke til over 85 butikker fullpakket med krydder som sumac, safran og en sjelden rosa pepper som lokalbefolkningen sverger til for sin unike aroma. Luften er en tung blanding av søte og salte dufter. Selgere praktiserer fortsatt en gammel tradisjon med å veie varer på vintage messingvekter og tilbyr en kopp tykk, søt eplete til kjøpere, noe som gjør hvert kjøp til en varm, aromatisk utveksling i stedet for en rask transaksjon.
Insidertips
- 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.
