DOs and DO NOTs
DO
Explore the informal markets that pop
up on streets, alleys in car parks and all over.
The Sunday market in Ferikoy is
legendary and can be reached via subway and 1 KM walk.
Ortakoy’s fashion-oriented Thursday
evening market takes you to a famous waterside mosque.
DO NOT
Expect to buy anything but souvenirs
at the Grand Bazaar.
The only exception is silver, which is
sold by weight no matter how much craftsmanship has gone into forging the final
bracelet, necklace, etc.
If you pay more than 50 percent of the
initial offer, you have likely made a fool of yourself and given the shopkeeper
his day’s profit margin.
