Istanbul's Bazaar Quarter: Backstreet Walking Tours Review: Essential and wonderful! - This outstanding guidebook introduces travelers to the quiet hidden corners of the Grand Bazaar. It includes 4 different walking tours, each with carefully detailed, easy-to-follow instructions for finding the hidden alleys that lead into the grand courtyards of Istanbul's hans and bedestenis. Although the walks are centered on the Grand Bazaar, each one includes other kinds of sites (such as mosques, museums, tombs etc) on the itinerary, so that by the end of your walk, you've seen a great slice of life in that corner of Istanbul. My first day in Istanbul, I went shopping at the Grand Bazaar and was overwhelmed by the hustle and bustle. A couple of days later I revisited the Bazaar with this book in hand and had a completely different experience. I climbed out-of-the-way stairs to gaze over the rooftops of the Bazaar; I found an old Roman fountain; I visited a small local mosque. I had intended to do one of the tours that afternoon and then spend the rest of the day doing something else, but I enjoyed it so much I ended up doing two tours that afternoon. The book includes helpful historical/cultural references to help you understand the sites you're visiting, and also has brief profiles of some of the merchants in the bazaar, so you can appreciate the vast range of goods and handicrafts on offer. Can't recommend it enough; I wish there were more books like this. Review: Very helpful on tour - We followed one of the tours in this book when in Istanbul. The streets are confusing there so it was a bit of a mission - but the descriptions of what to look out for in order to find where you were going were great. We ended up in places we'd never have ventured otherwise. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #2,249,456 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #259 in General Turkey Travel Guides #386 in General Middle East Travel Guides #2,347 in General Europe Travel Guides | | Customer Reviews | 4.2 4.2 out of 5 stars (29) | | Dimensions | 5.18 x 0.46 x 8.64 inches | | ISBN-10 | 9944424595 | | ISBN-13 | 978-9944424592 | | Item Weight | 10.4 ounces | | Language | English | | Print length | 182 pages | | Publication date | September 16, 2009 | | Publisher | Citlembik Publications | ## Images ![Istanbul's Bazaar Quarter: Backstreet Walking Tours - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71jKdbllw9L.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Essential and wonderful! *by A***N on June 28, 2014* This outstanding guidebook introduces travelers to the quiet hidden corners of the Grand Bazaar.

The streets are confusing there so it was a bit of a mission - but the descriptions of what to look out for in order to find where you were going were great. We ended up in places we'd never have ventured otherwise. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great Travel Guide *by F***S on December 17, 2014* Great depiction of Kapali Çarsi (Gran Bazar). I am Turkish I have been there empteen times, yet she depicts places I have never seen and intend to visit next time I go to Istanbul as I now live in the US. Great book for someone visiting Istanbul and who loves shopping and also loves history and Old Sites.
