Shops And Bazaar Route

There are fabulous bazaars in Gaziantep where you can reflect the culture of this place into your kitchen. We are going to dust off the shopping from the herbalist to the historical bazaars, even from rare handcrafted jewelry to amazing textile products. 

Would you like to visit the bazaars of Gaziantep, which have been frequented by travelers for centuries, for an entire day? Although the Old Bazaar places, arastalar (ottoman bazaar), bedesten (covered bazaar), and inns are still in place, today handicrafts such as coppery and mother-of-pearl are more appealing to tourist needs and nostalgic feelings. However, Antep works such as kutnu textile products along with the magnificent spices, are leading the shopping lists!

Prepare your list of needs! Or don't, we'll tell you what to buy at the places along our route. We have not forgotten to put an exquisite spot where you can eat and have a nice fatigue coffee on our way, which will last for one full day or half-day according to your shopping curiosity! Let's start from the beginning, if you don't follow our advice along this route, you'll regret it later!

If your arms are ready to muscle in because of carrying bags, let's go!

But a little warning before we start! If you're going to experience our route on Sunday, you'll have to skip our first stop because the Grand Bazaar, where we began our journey, is closed on Sunday.
