As an ancient trade center, famed as the city of a thousand colors and fragrances, Istanbul is a paradise for shoppers offering a huge variety of shopping experiences whether in antique markets or in modern malls.
Istanbul offers an ancient covered bazaar (The Grand Bazaar or Kapali Carsi) with over 4,000 shops in the heart of the old city. It's a recommended way to shop for Turkish specialties from desserts to jewelry.
"Misir Carsisi" takes its name from the source of the spices in old times. The merchants of this colorful old covered market, also called the Spice Bazaar, sell spices, herbs, medicinal, dried fruits and a myriad of other goods in barrels and baskets.
As it is through interacting with the members of a community in their everyday life that one can get a glimpse of a culture, shopping in Istanbul presents a wonderful opportunity to that end.
