Ludovica CarosiJuly 23, 2013Too big, without any information. Items inside are the same that you can find all around in Istanbul and in every town in Turkey..... But in the market are worse and overpriced. Bad experience.
Natalija UgrinaOctober 30, 2013I feel it's more expensive than other places.Definitely good for jewelry

Erin SemirJuly 9, 2012do not believe everything what you read in the guidebooks, what people say, " come and see "
Hibri MarzookJune 3, 2013Good experience. Although the shops sell the same tacky touristy stuff. When bargaining start very low. It's already overpriced.
Somaiyyah BellucciSeptember 7, 2015be aware of greedy shop owners! stores in the middle offer way much better prices with better quality
Olmedo MirandaFebruary 1, 2016Not my thing. The stores repeat themselves. If you look hard enough you might find good deals!
Rita MakhoulJanuary 3, 2014It's worth checking out but be prepared for it to be crowded and loud. Prices are much more expensive than elsewhere.
Abeer VFebruary 2, 2017Overrated bazaar. I got better deals on souvenirs (magnets and bookmarks) in sultanahmet- Very crowded. You can find some good deals but also be easily ripped off.
- Erin SemirJuly 9, 2012do not compare the prices with the prices in other countries, which is meaningless by means of economic scales, wealth,GNI, GNP, it is better you go there

"Very interesting! The approach is quite intense from the sales people! All the fancy brands are Chinese fake. Go for the Local products and haggle over the price, it could go Down more than 60%"

"Magnificat location (especially after taking the cable car up), high enough to see over the gulf of golden horn, and the Bosporus. The mosque and the shopping area are very nice to walk through."

Ahmad Alfilimbany - 9.5
"Such a gorgeous view. A must see! Try the stuffed aubergine and lamb shank at the restaurant. Make reservation next to a good window to watch the sunset."
