A short walk from the Eminonu ferry docks, the Spice Bazaar offers a true flavor of the Orient. Built in 1660, it is the second largest covered market in Istanbul. Whatever spice you are looking for, you will surely find it here. Nuts, dried fruits and many other culinary delights can be found here. The Spice Bazaar is also referred to as the Egyptian Market, as it was built from duties collected on Egyptian goods.
The Spice Bazaar is closed Sundays. It is open every other day between 8:30 a.m. and 7:30 p.m. Theme: Food and DrinkDirections: You can get to the Spice Bazaar by taking the Eminönü-Zeytinburnu tram from Sultanahmet. It is a short walk from the Galata Bridge.

Also known as the Egyptian Market, this is another must see when in Istanbul. The building was constructed in the mid-17th century as part of the nearby Yeni Camii complex. A portion of the revenue generated at the bazaar went to support the operations of the mosque. While you can find bulk spices of all kinds (the variety of colors are a photographer's dream subject!), there are also vendors selling a variety of other goods, chief among them being lokum or Turkish Delight, a local confection which must be tried in one form or another (there are seemingly an endless array of varieties). Silks, scarves, chotchke, lamps, carpets...it's all here. As are the crowds as we experienced on a Saturday afternoon. And surprisingly tourists were not in the majority.
Spices, lokum, tourist trinkets

 take your pick! by Alikatt
Despite the name which means 'corn', you should buy all kids of spices plus dried okra, pre-mixed garam masala, Turkish saffron (safran), and the item I was hunting down, cocoa butter!
3 YTL for a good sized container of Turkish saffron, best prices in all of the bazaar. Leave a Comment Theme: OtherAddress: Misir Carisi No. 42 EminonuPhone: 212 522 16 13Directions: they are in a corner.Other Contact: acarbaharat@yahoo.com
