"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."

Running along the back of the Blue mosque is this rather lovely market (Bazaar), quite small however no where as hectic as the grand bazaar, definitely worth a visit when in the area.

Place is just behind the Suleymani / Blue Mosque. Shops are well placed and organised but the price is a bit higher. Products are selective but compared to the nearby area price is higher. There are some special shops for some special items like vintage arts, paintings and crafts. Few eateries are there. Good thing is it is covered market so during rain you will be safe a bit.

I found this little bazaar far more welcoming than the Grand Bazaar, where I felt like everyone was out to scam you. We just bought a beautiful acrylic painting from there, which we felt was very fairly priced. If you're going for the atmosphere, go to Grand Bazaar, but if you want to actually buy something good, go to arasta Bazaar.

A much smaller scale market compared to the Grand Bazaar and Egyptian Bazaar located next to Sultanahmet Park - primarily selling textile products, ceramics and jewelry. Pleasant shopping experience and a lot less chaotic.

We deliberately walked through this Bazaar to window shop, just before opening time, which was a much more relaxing experience than usual in Istanbul. A few shops were open and we did end up tasting and then buying some tea from a shop called Flamingo (photos attached).

A short walk from the Blue Mosque, this bazaar is on a side street. Our tourist guide took us there. i know it must be touristy. But so what? if you only have a few hours in Istanbul, this could be a great place to stop to look around and get a few souvenirs. People are friendly and the merchandise is decent. it also happened to be a wonderful spring like day! The whole experience is magnificent. there are cats and dogs, not many, a few, roaming around. but they look well taken care of and do not bother anybody. love this place!

A small street with lots of shops selling all kinds of goods. This shopping street caters for tourists. The shops here look very elegant and tempting, but be aware that prices here are much more higher than elsewhere in Istanbul. I don’t recommend buying anything from this street until you check shops in other areas and compare prices.
