Get lost in the Kapalı Çarşı (Grand Bazaar), the world's oldest and largest shopping centre. A shopper's paradise since the mid-15th century, this vibrant bazaar has everything you could ever hope for and more. With over 58 streets and 4,000 shops, it is a shopaholics dream. Make your way through the labyrinth of of spices, carpets, bangles, and gold-plated 'eyes' which are believed to ward of evil. Walking through the maze is a physical and mental feat, as one must resist the hundreds of carpet sellers eager to lure you in their store, where you may end up leaving with a life-savings worth of rugs.Trade funny banter with the shopkeepers offering bargain deals and children eager to be your guide as you navigate yourself through the web of precious gems, fur, hadicrafts, leather, antique coins, and jewellry.
