It’s even one of the oldest markets in the world. With more than 4.000 shops you’ll find nearly everthing what you can imagine. Buy something typical Turkish and yes you have to bargain, that’s also traditional. But don’t worry, it’s a good way to get in touch with the locals and make new friendships.
