Old Bazaars of Istanbul

 
You will be picked up by our Guide from Istanbul Cruise Port Passenger Terminal and driven through to the Galata Bridge to the Old City.
After a short panoramic drive, your first visit will be the Spice Bazaar (also known as the Egyptian Bazaar) built in 1663, the Spice Market is still the second-largest covered bazaar in Turkey and It it is still the best place to buy Turkish delight, dried fruit, exotic herbs and all the spices of the East including cardamom, turmeric, saffron, rose water and more.
Next, you will visit the the Grand Bazaar. Your guide escorts you to a store just outside the Grand Bazaar, your rendezvous point after experiencing the marketplace. Take in a carpet-weaving demonstration and explore the Grand Bazaar, where the shops are organized by the wares they sell. The narrow alleys are filled with shops offering jewelry, carpets, leather ware, copper goods and more. Bargaining is expected - and half the fun.
After your experiences, you will return to the port
