"One-Stop Shopping at Arasta 79 The very chill owner of Arasta 79 has one of the best shops in Istanbul . Ikat scarves, knotted silk jewelry strung with chunky jewels, delicate crochet strings of flowers, pestemals (traditional Turkish bath towels) in every weave and color, and bright Suzani and Uzbeki ceramics. If you have time for only one stop within Arasta Bazaar, this should be it."
