About Turkey

Allow your senses be invaded by the Egyptian or Spice Bazaar, an essential visit, despite being much smaller and perhaps existing in the shadow of the massive Grand Bazaar. This colourful and aromatic market offers nearly every spice imaginable and has done so since before the XVII century structure was built. Not exclusively dedicated to spices: sweets, nuts, teas and other delights can be found here. This is the perfect place to buy apple tea to go with the tea set you bought at the Grand Bazaar! One thing to look out for is the Lokum, or Turkish Delight, irresistibly soft, these chewy sweets are an Istanbul original. Try honey flavoured, pistachio, rosewater or lemon. Head towards the centre of the building for lower prices
