My husband, friend and I HAD to go to the bazaar. It is something you MUST do when in Istanbul. Good walking shoes, money in the wallet or purse, small change if you are there long and must use the toilet (whole in the floor). It cost 1tl. Even a bottle of water and snacks of you want to nibble. The place is huuuuge. It is enormous. You can buy anything here. From spices, to clothes, to leather jackets, to lamps...anything...just be prepared to bargain to a lower price if you are not satisfied with the price they quote. Do it, it is sooo worth it. WILL BE BACK!!!
