About
快速信息: 走进拥挤的通道，浓郁的肉桂与藏红花香扑鼻而来，让人忍不住想装满小罐带走。超过一千种香料与干果在摊位上色彩斑斓地排列，讨价还价成为游历中最有趣的部分之一。
亮点: 穿过低矮的穹顶，空气中首先扑鼻而来的是肉桂、藏红花和花椒混合的甜辣气息，摊位上像宝石一样堆着石榴红辣椒、金黄色的藏红花小瓶和闪亮的玫瑰糖。当地有个古怪的习俗，老顾客在斋月前通常会送给固定的五到六家摊主一小包自家烘烤的开心果或蜜饯作为礼物，摊主回报的方法是优先称最饱满的那一把给他们。
Insider tips
- 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.
