Spice Bazaar: Real Turkish Delights & Avoiding Tourist Traps
★4.9(21770)
Skip the pre-packaged boxes near the entrance—they are overpriced and stale. Head deeper into the L-shaped market for authentic pomegranate molasses and loose-leaf saffron. Visit on a weekday morning to dodge the cruise ship crowds. The smell is intense, but the vendors actually let you sample the real deal if you look interested. Give it an hour, then grab a coffee at Kurukahveci Mehmet Efendi nearby. It is chaotic, sensory overload, and totally worth it.
