The bazaar is crowded and there are peddlers trying to sell you things on the street so be prepared. Just shake your head 'No' and don't try to communicate with them because they will never leave you afterwards. The peddlers will go on about their business if you just shake your head 'No' that you're not interested. Don't expect to see the bazaar in 1 day, just see what you can in the time allowed.

Istanbul, what else can you say! Take the "off the beaten track tour" and avoid the crowds

WOW! Absolutely my favorite stop! It was Mother’s Day here too, so there were crowds. There wasn’t enough time here to even scratch the surface but what little we saw was beautiful & interesting, especially the Topkapi Palace. The Grand Bazzar was closed on Sunday, that was disappointing.

Again, no excursion. I was impressed with how modern the city was especially the fabulous cruise port. Watching the multitude of people fish off the bridge was my highlight there.

We just explored on our own in this city, our favorite part was the Grand Bazar and Spice Market. The Blue Mosque was gorgeous (women make sure your shoulders, head and knees are covered-men shoulders and knees)
