Bona Ventura

Sultanahmet · Istanbul

Arasta Bazaar

Arasta Çarşısı

Market

A single arcade of shops right behind the Blue Mosque selling carpets, kilims, İznik-style ceramics, textiles and peştemal bath towels. Calmer and better organised than the Grand Bazaar, and the Great Palace Mosaic Museum is entered from here.

Good to know

  • Haggle as in any bazaar, but expect much less pressure than in the Grand Bazaar.
  • Do not miss the Great Palace Mosaic Museum below the bazaar for its Byzantine floor mosaics.
