ISTABUL Bazaars
 Bazaars in Istanbul - Grand Bazaar-Covered Bazaar

        Bazaars in Istanbul date back to medieval Ottoman times. There are two main Bazaars: The Grand bazaar and The Egyption Spice Bazaar. There are also many local open-market bazaars. The yells and calls of the street vendors remind one of London. As in most other countries, shop salesmen and street vendors can be aggressive and assertive.  The Turkish difference is that you can have fun with them -- talk and learn about what he is trying to help you buy. Don't be offended, and don't be afraid to simply say 'no'.  
     Know what price you want to pay, be fair, then haggle a bit if you wish. Remember, however, that sometimes the amount you are haggling over is the cost of a lunch or dinner back home -- is it worth it?Its business, and for sale are things like gold and silver jewelry; leather goods; ceramics; textiles; antiques; food and spices; books; calligraphy; brass; home decorations, and among many other things, Turkish shoe-shine boxes can be bought.

    Idea : this tour gives a good understanding of the covered and open markets of Istanbul. Everyday except sunday.
