Turkey for Christmas - Part 6

Shopping



It's no secret that most tourists spend a lot of time shopping in Istanbul. It seems that there's a bazaar around every corner. It's pretty much assumed that a tourist is shopping for rugs (at a minimum).

The two most famous bazaars are the Spice Bazaar (mostly, but not entirely, devoted to food and spices) and the Grand Bazaar where everything imaginable -- and more -- is for sale.
