Spice Bazaar Review

The Spice Bazaar (Turkish: Mısır Çarşısı, meaning "Egyptian Bazaar") in Istanbul, Turkey is one of the largest bazaars in the city. Located in the Eminönü quarter of the Fatih district, it is the most famous covered shopping complex after the Grand Bazaar.

It is said that it is a spice market. In fact, the things sold are similar to the Grand Bazaar. The carpet scarf colored ceramic plates, some shops and basements, the bosses will speak a few words in Chinese. Hello, come in and see my things are very cheap, hahaha, in fact, it is not cheap at all, the stained glass lights look beautiful, Look carefully at the switch plug and Yiwu goods are still a few grades. Just go shopping and don't start easily.

The spice market in Istanbul actually feels like a variety of bazaars, there are selling a variety of gadgets, porcelain, various dried fruits, some can indeed buy back as handwriting or something. When you arrive in Istanbul, if you want to visit the market or Bazaar, the spice market is a good choice. However, pay attention to the candy inside, don't buy too much, one is very heavy, the other is sweet to make you sad.

If you like shopping, you need to visit the Bazaar with approximately 350 shops, you’ll find everything you need. We went to get gifts for family and Turkish Delight (all flavours and freshly made daily) we got 3 x boxes (18 pieces in each hand-picked) for 90 Turkish Lira so about £10, bargain and so delicious. The Turkish people are lovely and enjoy a good haggle too so haggle away 😉

It's compacter than the Grand Bazaar, but it was easier to see. Souvenirs are also available. The outside was like an outdoor market, and there was a food market.

The spice market, not far from Grand Bazaar, is Istanbul's largest and oldest spice market, built in the 1760s. In addition to selling all kinds of spices, there are also various other arts and crafts, only a little smaller, so the price will be a little cheaper. Vendors can speak a little Chinese and greet them when they enter the door. They are very polite and friendly. They can take photos with them. They are very generous.
