    OK, so most of it has become somewhat touristy. But the Grand Bazaar is still a great place to wander around, checking out the silver shops, nipping down some of the little alley ways to check out the metal work, the leather goods and more.

    Shopping galore. First time I got horribly lost in the corridors. Has everything from belly dancing costumes to fake branded goods. Bargaining is king, I worked on the technique of looking desperate and semi-poor at the same time. Leather jackets & carpets are excellent. Best trick I learnt was to spot the lower grade stomach leather on the jackets, especially on the back of the sleeves (it looks crumpled). If you're thirsty, go into a carpet shop and you'll be served tea and be entertained for a long time while looking at beautiful carpets. There are ATMs hidden inside, but most shopkeepers accept credit cards and foreign currency (always having the newspaper exchange rate handy). You can also pick up some 'aphrodisiac' (basically candy with nuts etc.) here, but not so much variety as at the Spice Market. Funny when a grown man approaches you to ask if you want some of it... Also a good variety of gold and silver jewellery & watches, but watch out for fakes mixed in.

    When in Istanbul you should visit bazaars. The Great Bazaar and the Egyptian Bazaar are the two most famous ones.
    When you walk into the Great Bazaar be prepared that they all start to speak to you. The bazaars have really an amazing selection of carpets, scarves, spicys, clothes, leather shoes and bags, hand-made crockery, gorgeous jewellery... and a lot more.

    Strolling through the Grand Bazaar is a real delight. The precursor to the modern day mall, the bazaar offers everything to everyone. That is, almost everything. Alcohol consumption is greatly discouraged in the Islamic tradition, so if you're looking to add to your shot glass collection, you'll have to settle for a small tea glass embossed with the Turkish flag.

    Be assured that Turkish vendors are world-class at bargaining, so no matter what you wind up paying for your purchases, it will be too much!

    shopping in the Big bazaar (kapali carsi),
    cruise in the bosphorus,
    dinner or lunch in a fish restaurant in the bosphrus,
    going to one of the princess islands (buyukada preferable)
    here is a picture of a typical ship by which all the residents of the city travel day by day...
    each of them has a unique experience and a beauty !

    THE GRAND BAAZAR

    When you talk about Istanbul, may be the first thing that comes into your mind is THE GRAND BAAZAR. The Grand Baazat has an area of 35 hectares with 88 streets in which you can find around 3.500 stores. The Classical writers described Istanbul as the city that was founded for commercial and trading purposes.
