One of the best parts of staying at Katalog Hotel is its proximity to the historic bazaar, where you can experience authentic local culture. This bazaar is a vibrant labyrinth where centuries of tradition meet the modern world.
Must-Sees in the Bazaar
Get ready to get lost in the narrow streets. Here's what you shouldn't miss:
- Spice Merchants: The scent of freshly ground sumac, saffron, and special tea blends will dazzle you.
- Handicrafts: Handmade ceramics, leather bags, and traditional woven rugs.
- Turkish Delight and Sweets: Don't leave without tasting fresh Turkish delight with pistachio or rose.
Haggling is Tradition!
Part of the bazaar culture is bargaining. Don't hesitate to ask for prices and engage in friendly haggling with the vendor. It's part of the experience.
What to Eat?
When you take a break from shopping, you can eat an authentic kebab or pide in the hidden local restaurants inside the bazaar. For a quick treat, try freshly squeezed pomegranate juice.
