Grand Bazaar, Kapali Charshi, Kapalıçarşı, Grand Bazaar
Turkey, Istanbul
The construction of the Grand Bazaar began in 1453 under Mehmed II, in subsequent years the market was expanded and rebuilt. This is one of the largest covered markets in the world, with more than 4,000 shops on 66 streets. Until the middle of the 19th century, the Grand Bazaar was the center of the slave trade. Nowadays, here you can buy various Turkish souvenirs, ceramics, gold, silver, carpets and much more.

For me, the most terrible place in Istanbul is Kapali Charshi ("Great Bazaar"). I am frightened by a large crowd of people, noise, screaming, crowds ...Women in black veils, trying on no less black new veils, goods from the category "everything for 5 lire", heartbreaking cries of touts ...Endless streets and alleys overflowing with various goods and merchants, fleeing from the main covered building of the bazaar to nearby neighborhoods. Get lost here - just spit. Orienting, counting the balconies, on the numerous minarets towering outside the bazaar is a thankless task and absolutely useless.
