    I loved this Spice Bazaar, inside it had a beautiful adorned ceiling that made us feel like being…read moreinside a mosque or an Arabic mansion. The bazaar itself was not as crowded as others, it was very well laid out and the store employees were not pushy at all. There are vividly colored spices displayed alongside jewel-like lokum (Turkish delight), providing eye candy for tourists and locals who make their way here every day. Stalls also sell caviar, dried herbs, honey, nuts and dried fruits as well as gold, jewelry and some clothing. Just a great colorful place to wander.....

    The Spice Market (SM), in Istanbul Turkey is known to locals and tourists as having one of the best…read moreselections of spices in the world. In addition to spices they also offer several selections of sweets and other candies. Various ingredients make up a wide range of teas, which, are sold at the SM. Some tea mixtures are known to combat cold & flu like symptoms, while others are known to improve circulation and offer other health benefits. Many of the tea leafs are colorful while producing a pleasant aroma. Visitors are provided samples of teas and sweets which, were very flavorful. All purchases are vacuumed sealed for easy transportation back to your destination. The vendors are very welcoming and are eager to discuss the importance and value of tea consumption. Without question, you will be amazed at the abundance of teas and sweet treats, as well as, the size of the SM. I'd also recommend you indulge in a cup of traditional Turkish Tea at the SM while shopping. If you've never had it, it's definitely worth trying. Also impressive is seeing the method in which Turkish coffee is prepared using hot coals.

    After reading some reviews from various places on where to go in the spice bazaar, the name…read moreArifoglu came up a few times. So I made some notes on what I wanted to buy, how much I can get it in the states, and prices in various sizes. When I went to the spice bazaar I took mental note of what prices they had of various spices and what they were selling them for, as one place had one Sumac for 10TL more for a half a kg then Arifoglu had for a whole kg. So after looking around for a while I stopped in Arifoglu, they man with glasses helped me and he was super nice. He saw my list and asked to see it so I gave it to him. He beat all the prices on my sheet, as well as giving me 10% off everything too. Since I also bought about 3 lbs of spices he threw in something for me too. I bought some saffron from him as well. It was funny because I bought some Iranian saffron, and I brought a sample from home to make sure it was the same stuff since I'm not a spice savant that can tell the difference between the real and real looking fake stuff. He was impressed and give me another discount off the top. It was still al little more than you can get it in the US if you know where to go. But I figured I give it a try. I mentioned Turkish saffron as gift for friends who didn't cook who wanted it. And he scoffed and said Turkish saffron is stuff other places they sell to tourist who don't know better. I thought it was funny that he admitted that. Not only would I come back here if I needed spice and was back in Istanbul. I stopped in again before I left to pick up a few other things I decided to bring back.

    Ignore all the other vendors trying to get you in to their stores as you walk through the Spice…read moreBazaar and head straight here. They don't hassle people to come in because they don't need to. They have a great variety of spices & herbs at great prices. But what drew me in was the big sign I thought was kind of funny: "mysterious scent of harem"... I had to investigate. I'm glad I went in, a whole wall is dedicated to their selection of perfumed and essential oils... It was amazing. I wish I bought more!
