The Covered Market of Istanbul
The Markets of Istanbul Continued
On my long walks through the old cobbled streets of the city of Istanbul, I visited many markets. As well as visiting the Egyptian Market, I went to the famous Covered Market. This Market has many shops, somewhere I read it had 4,000 shops and many of these were jewelery shops. It was usually always crowded with thousands of people, tourists, locals and salespeople all going about their daily business.
It was October when I was here and brightly colored Turkish flags decorated the building. October is the month of preparation for celebrating the Turkish day of the Republic, October 28 - 29th.
You can buy all sorts of lovely things and souvenirs here at the Covered Market to take home with you to remind you of your visit to the mystic city of Istanbul.
