the Grand Bazaar is one of the more famous places in Istanbul. Opinions range from it being the best place to shop ever, to it being an insane tourist trap. We went with no money just to explore the giant complex and se what there was for sale.
The entrance (or one of them)
It is the largest covered bazaar in the world
It dates from the Ottoman era
Lots of tourist stuff like rugs
Spices
Lamps
Pretty ceramics
Dont want a rug? buy a purse made from one...
more crazy lamps
I liked this street. scarves
and fabric
So pretty
Teas
This is the area outside the bazaar that we went the day before when everything was closed. Looks a bit different now.
Op, back in the bazaar, in the gold isle
Not really my thing, but I liked the tea cups
Out another gate
I wasn't really tempted to buy anything, and it was chaotic, but it was fun to walk through
