Istanbul's Grand Bazaar — an honest guide to not getting fleeced

The Kapalı Çarşı is the world's oldest covered market still in operation. It's also a machine for extracting cash from unprepared tourists. This guide shows which gate to use, the 3 corridors that matter, how to haggle for real, what to refuse ("antique" carpet, "Turkish" amethyst), and why the Mısır Çarşısı is often a better buy.
