The experience
Istanbul's second-largest covered market, built in 1660 as part of the New Mosque complex in Eminönü. Its roughly 80 stalls sell spices, Turkish delight, dried fruit, nuts, cheese, honey and tea. It is firmly on the tourist trail and busy year-round.
A 17th-century food bazaar packed with spices, lokum and Turkish delight under one historic roof.
