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.

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.

The spice market, also known as the Egyptian market, is a small Bazaar near the new mosque at the beginning of the Anla Bridge in Golden Cape Bay. It's very interesting to buy dried goods such as spices here, and to see novelty.

Quickly farewell to the Jeni Mosque, we came to the spice market next to it, which is also a good place for rainy days. Most of the stalls in the spice market sell food. In addition to various colorful spices and fudge, there are also various kinds of flower tea, nuts, dried fruits and so on. Because of the fierce competition, each store has the same price and slightly different taste. You can try it and then decide which one to buy. The price can be cut slightly, but there is little room for reduction. I recommend you to buy pistachios here, about 40 lira per kilogram, fried very fragrant, ten times better than domestic. Spice market is not only the preferred place to buy gourmet food, but also the second place to buy tourist souvenirs. 1 Lira's blue-eyed key buckles are not sloppy at all. There are also a variety of fragrant olive oil soaps worth buying.

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 😉
