Overview
Your guide will meet you at the port of Istanbul.
Start your tour from the European side of Istanbul with a walk through the Spice Bazaar, an extensive market that was built in the 17th century to finance the upkeep of the nearby mosque--Yeni Cami. The bazaar is often referred to as the "Egyptian Market" due to the fact that spices used to come to the market from India and Southeast Asia via Egypt.
Take a ferry ride to the other side of the river that separates the European and Asian parts of Istanbul to explore the famous open-air street market of Kadikoy. Notice the big difference in atmosphere between the Spice Market and the Kadikoy which is more in tune with the way most people in Istanbul cook and eat.
Indulge yourself in the huge variety of seasonal fruits and vegetables, with plenty to discover for the "foodie." Feel the real bazaar shopping experience with the fishmongers, bakers, butchers, and grocers singing out to attract you to their stall. Take your time and explore the many pastry and deli shops, and the aromatic spice stands. There is plenty to see and buy, with information and recommendations available.
Feeling hungry after all that walking? Want to try some of the things you have seen? One of Istanbul's best restaurants is just around the corner. Enjoy an ethnic countryside-style dish in a traditional atmosphere.
A ferry ride back to the European side ends our delicious walking tour in Istanbul.
