The place is definitely atmospheric — narrow streets, colorful shops, carpets, spices, souvenirs. Everything is beautiful, bright and very "Turkish". If you like markets and oriental atmosphere, you will definitely like it. But it turned out to be a bit exhausting for me personally. There are too many things and everyone: people, sounds, smells. The constant attention from the sellers, the eyes run away — you don't have time to just take a walk and relax. Rather, I recommend it to those who like intense walks through the markets and want to experience the flavor. And if you're looking for a quiet place, maybe you should choose another area.

A bazaar is a bazaar, but it's colorful. It's very interesting to wander and bargain) You can find it for any wallet, if you don't just walk along the main routes, don't be afraid and go to the branches where mostly locals walk, you can bargain on the calculator for almost half the price. But the bazaar is very big, expect to spend about half a day on it. By the way, it's clean enough and no one grabs your hands or drags you anywhere, quite a friendly attitude.

An interesting location for a photo, the bazaar is located on Sultanahmet Square, next to the Blue Mosque. The prices are expensive, but you can find something and bargain. If you are walking nearby, go inside, the street of the bazaar is not big.

The Oriental bazaar, which has almost everything. It is located near the main attractions, so the price is high. Be sure to smile and bargain, the final price may surprise you)

I have been to many bazaars, but I liked this bazaar for its accessibility, ease of communication, and there were no "Sellers" who imposed their services or tried to sell something) There is one jewelry store there, I forgot the Seller's name, however, I strongly advise you to go there, the prices are good and there will be a wonderful gift from the trip)

Everything is expensive... And very much. I really liked a few things, but in terms of bringing slippers like Raksolana's from the magnificent century to Russia in 20 years is too much.... And so I splurged and bought a scarf with a national ornament, and upon arrival in Russia I found a strong puff. Everyone just wants to profit

Banal goods for tourists, overpriced. This Bazaar was located on the way from the hotel to Sultanahmet Square, we stopped several times along the way, maybe something would suit your taste. But no, somehow I didn't get hooked. It can't compare to the Grand Bazaar, of course.

A small bazaar behind the blue mosque. There are many different shops. Nice, but not cheap. You can also take photos in national costumes there.

It is a great loss for those who live in Istanbul and do not visit the Arasta Bazaar, it is one of the rare places that must be visited, a beautiful bazaar is the only address where very nice shopping can be done with warm-hearted shopkeepers, I think Arasta

Two small streets with goods- that's the whole market. But the market buildings themselves are very ancient and steeply built. It can be seen that the old brick is laid very beautifully with an arch. After all, Istanbul is very beautiful and deeply historical. And the product is on the market - as in all markets of Istanbul

Not a big bazaar, located next to the museum, the Mosaics of the Grand palace." It consists of one street. In principle, there are only a few of them. A kind of bazaar probe, but pleasant. Not cheap, but very old. So it belongs to the historical sights.

The exchange rate of the local currency killed all the positive and interest in this country (previously we had been to Istanbul separately, not to mention the resorts of Turkey), it is sad to realize that this trip may have been the last to this country

If you are going to the Grand Bazaar, do not go, it is better to come here right away, especially from the Grand bazaar ten minutes on foot. It's the same here, only neat, cozy and there is no feeling of a perestroika flea market. Let me remind you that it is possible and necessary to bargain.

Expensive, flashy, touristy. There are shops with much more exclusive goods in this area. And, of course, half of the proposed we then met in the city several times cheaper.
