Grandbazaar nice historical old Market in Istanbul, nice design, big, and contain many wonderful things, one thing I don't like in this market, that some owners of shops boring you to sell their product.
Ok, everybody knows what the grand bazar is so just some hints and tips. For orientation: Up is always south and west.
1. Avoid the "main" entrance from the tram station if possible, the most aggressive vendors wait just outside.
2. Whatever you see there it is on sale and unique and can only be bought in this shop. Wrong…
Hagia Sophia gave me the "WOW" moment in Istanbul. It is beautiful, well maintained, affordable admission ticket, it is a must-see of Istanbul.
I booked a private tour for 8 people for a one day cruise stop in November, at the port of Istanbul my booking was done through email.
A fabulous day! Thank you
Hagia Sophia a huge ancient Christian church which bacame a muslim place of worship during the Ottoman Empire. Great exterior but the queues to go inside were so long we could not stay to see inside – pity as it is apparently be spectacular.
The Grand Bazaar is like the “Cave of Ali Baba”, full of sparkles from the true jewelry, the fake jewelery, the copper objects, the light bulbs. The smells can not also be forgotten. It is unique and amazing.
Wonderful tour! Our guide Taylan was very informative, pleasant and was able to guide us to the major sites that we wanted to see.. He took us to a great restaurant where we enjoyed great Turkish food in a wonderful atmosphere and with very good service.. We loved Turkey and the people we met were very friendly…We highly recommend this tour!
