    Bargain! Smaller than the Grand Bazaar, but still wide choices of products. Shops are extended up to outer of the bazaar. People are nice and helpful too.. even bought the copper water pipe here 🤣

    Find the almost-hidden staircase near the northern (?) entrance, sneak upstairs to the restaurant and catch a peek (and pic!) of the markte from above via the dining room window. Be speedy!

    An amazing gastronomic paradise since 1664, the Egyptian Spice Bazaar (located in Eminonu) is another favourite of the camera-wielding, souvenir-seeking tourist and also for Istanbul locals.

    Generally best prices we found in the city for anything in the bazaar, especially silver and ceramic. Beats the pants off grand bazaar, cost-wise, and less hassling to go with it.

    Ok foodies now it's your turn! Famous Spice Market. You'll be amazed with the variety of colors, savory smells and tastes here! Don't miss to visit local charcuteries outside of the market.

    sweet smelling cinnamon sticks, jasmine and other dried flower tea, vanilla, odd-looking dried vegetables, cheese and pickles to the pungent smell of assorted powdered spices. All sorts of sugar-coa.. Read more

    Well,here u can get all the spices at a very reasonable price,i won't say cheap unless u can bargain with them which is not easy. But this bazaar is smaller compared to grand bazar.

    Located in the gigantic Grand Bazaar, the Spice Bazaar is a maze of pungent fragrances; colorful, foreign spices; and impassioned vendors. Read more

    A covered market famous for its spices almost next to Yeni Camii. Take a walk to see all these colours and smells from spices and delights but rather not buy....it's a bit pricey.

    Always crowded, always lively, always colourful. Sadly, goods are mostly touristic and low quality, so you must try and find the good vendors. For spices 👉 Kalmaz Baharat, no: 41 on the left side 😉

    If you leave the indoor part of the market and go right outside, by the water and Galata bridge, the vendors are more authentic and more than half the price

    Nowhere close to the Grand Bazaar in terms of size, but I think we get better Turkish Delight here. As always, bargain, though they say 'fixed prices' :)

    Kahvaltılık ve baharat alışverişi için alternatifi yok. For breakfast supplies and spice shopping there is no better alternative. Always bargain for prices.

    L-shaped traditional bazaar, it is inspiring to see the colourful spices and inhale their smell. But rather buy them in supermarkets for half of the price.

    Make sure to buy everything outside the basar, along the (north-)western side, where also the locals do their shopping. A must see.

    Too crowded but the goods are really good. I would definitely recommend this place but be ready for a long rounds of price negotiations which you might end up having the product at half of the price.

    Awesome atmosphere, but for a real shopping you should leave the bazaar and dive into narrow surrounding streets.

  • Turkey Travel Centre
    This place is good for a visit however if your time is limited, head to the grand bazaar instead. Bigger and better! Remember if you are looking for pure saffron, it is Iranian and not Turkish.
