Itinerary

    Step into one of Istanbul’s most iconic and aromatic landmarks. Built in the 17th century, the Spice Bazaar has been the heart of the city's spice trade for centuries. Inside its vaulted halls, you'll find stalls bursting with colorful spices, dried fruits, teas, Turkish delights, and local delicacies. It's not only a feast for the senses but also a window into the culinary soul of the Ottoman Empire. Your guide will help you navigate the history, scents, and secrets of this timeless marketplace.
  • Bosphorus Strait

    Discover the rhythm of daily life on the Asian side of Istanbul. At Üsküdar’s covered market, your guide will introduce you to stalls overflowing with local cheeses, olives, pickles, spices, and fresh breads. This market isn’t designed for tourists—it’s where locals shop, chat, and preserve the city’s culinary traditions. It's a flavorful step into real Istanbul.
  • Kuzguncuk Sahili

    1 hoursAdmission Ticket Free
