Bery Istanbul Tips hello Berry we will be visiting Istanbul very soon in a couple of weeks and your video came right in time before our visit. Can you tell me if all souvenir shops in your video are around the coffee shop. I mean are they in the same area. Thanks a lot 😊

[@BeryIstanbulTips]

Hello, yes all the souvenir shops are around the coffee shop. You just need to discover all the streets around.

[@NA-mg1uo]

Bery Istanbul Tips thank you 😊

Bery.. Come to göztepe

[@GK-hc4yl]

Do yourselves a favor and follow Bery's advice. We were just in Istanbul last week. We went to the local stores just outside the Spice Bazaar, like she suggested. The prices were marked, no need to bargain, and they were much lower than the Grand Bazaar. Everyone was friendly, and no pressure sales. The only thing is that they really would prefer you use cash.

[@императритца]

what is the name of this market and where is it located

[@TheReyes351]

Thank you.

[@worldcitizeng6507]

an advice from A Turkish college students to me; shop during the journey outside Istanbul, rents are expensive just like in all major cities, so the markup has to build into their prices. As I love the 100% cotton Turkish towel, perfect for travel, it comes in different weight/thickness. I bought it in the tinny town of KAS on sale, Izmir Bazaar. I also went to a locl outdoor market in Pamukkali, my tour guide took a break to prayed at the local mosque, so I got to walk around & shop. I bought 12 different towels and end up shipping it in Cappadocia before I arrived in Istanbul. In Istanbul, I only bought different teas/coffee, tea /coffee maker sets which were light weight to pack up in my luggage. Everyday, i looked for "Borek" the phyllo patry with spinach+cheese, different shops made it slicely different, it's so good.

[@Babu12fire]

Shipping items outside Turkey is cheaper outside Istanbul?

[@RicardoPerez-jm2pk]

You are a rockstar, Bery! Voy a visitar Turquía en Marzo, y de verdad todos tus videos me están ayudando muchísimo más de lo que te imaginas. Tenía un poco de miedo de ir, pero gracias a tus videos tan informativos, ese miedo ya desapareció. ¡Que siga creciendo el éxito de tu canal! ¡Eres mi héroe!

[@WhiteFlowerrr]

I love the fact that you literally shared the location on google maps, thanks! Perfect, I’ll definitely save it for when I’m in Istanbul. ❤️

Thanks for the video, I went to the shop today mentioned at 6:16 if anyone is curious to know, the price of a cushion cover was 65TL it's gone up in price as expected but it's still cheap when compared to the dollar.

Hello, can you recall the stores name please. Planning a trip soon. Thank you.

[@somayiakhawaja7471]

I know i just got back a week ago, turkey is infaming high...

[@ايناس-ض3ي]

Thanks for the videos, they’re very helpful, I went to Istanbul in August 2019, we paid so much in the grand bazaar, we’re going again in June, I’m watching all your videos and keeping your tips, you’re awesome!

[@zdurrani]

Sultanahmet & Eminonu areas are always good for shopping. You will find almost anything for sale here

[@adminuser7221]

better than the grand bazaar?

[@QuranSprouts]

Sultanahmet did not have good prices on my trip

[@alex.zidaru]

Best area to get scammed 😅

[@Sundog1985]

I suspect that heading to the Asian side is far better for your wallet.

I went to Istanbul Lamps because you recommended this shop. I am so happy with my lamp! Thank you for the tip!

[@clerouxbotha2784]

Love the Egyptian Basaar too. Better prices for clothes as well. Not as much variety as Grand but very tourist friendly 👌🏼

[@BeryIstanbulTips]

+Carel Le Roux Botha yes! And they have good prices too, not as expensive as in the Grand Bazaar. I sometimes go there to buy different teas and spices 😁

[@fatimab.8277]

Hi Berry. Thanks a ton for the informative videos. We visited Istanbul in march and are coming again now. Will visit the stores mentioned this time!

FINALLY found the shop with the beautiful carpet design bags..its on 10 Sabuncu Hani Sk, right across the spices bazaar

[@saramely99]

Hola Bery, magnífico video. Gracias por enseñarnos donde comprar. Una pregunta: todas las tiendas que mostraste son alrededor del bazar de las especies y del gran bazar?. Me encantó la de las alfombras y cojines. Ésta donde queda? Un abrazo 🤗 desde 🇨🇴 y cuidate mucho. Dios te bendiga.

How do we check the map in description ?

[@asiy2283]

Thanks for your information. I always purchase in Grand bazaar. But even outside sometimes if they come to know that we are tourist they sell more to us

[@BeryIstanbulTips]

You’re welcome! True, but even if they raise the price it won’t reach the suuuper high prices from the Grand Bazaar, still is much more affordable. 💕

[@mikichilcutt]

I will go to Grand bazzar for the experience, but will shop outside as you suggest. Thank you for the info!

[@iam3711]

Thank you very much Bery, your videos on Istanbul were very helpful, yesterday I went to the last shop you showed and bought a bunch of lovely things at a reasonable price, I had a local friend with me who was surprised with the price.

[@aileenpanes8110]

Thank you so much for this. I went to Istanbul last April and was told the same- not to buy at Grand Bazaar. Im coming back in September and will go back to the stores you suggested instead.

[@travellersoul5912]

Amazing information and comparison between the Grand Bazaar and those other stores! Thank you again!

[@BeryIstanbulTips]

Traveller Soul always a pleasure! Glad you liked the video :)

[@aliciazgainer6985]

Muchísimas gracias Bery!!! buenísima información.... no alcanzan los ojos para ver tanto... Vale la pena perderse por los alrededores del Gran Bazar y el Bazar de las especies. Si la intención es comparar artículos de excelente calidad y a un precio increíble , hay que hacerlo tal como vos decís. Hay sitios que aceptan tarjeta de crédito, euros y dolares. En lo personal me resultó muchos más práctico manejarme con liras turcas. En los alrededores hay muchas casas de cambio. No importa si en tus planes no está comprar, recorrer esta zona es una cita obligada para todo los turistas..... Genial tu video... como siempre un gusto verlos

[@BeryIstanbulTips]

Alicia Zgainer así es Alicia, esta zona vale mucho la pena visitar y perderse por sus callesitas, uno se quiere llevar toooodo 😂, hasta yo viviendo aquí cada que voy hasta se me van lo ojos de tantas cosas tan hermosas que hay y el bazar de las especias uffff esos olores tan sabrosos!

In kadıköy and beşiktaş you can find street shops to buy good and cheap clothes. Or you can go to some outlet shopping malls like Optimum Outlet.

[@favoritemelodies9995]

You can also buy really stylish affordable clothes etc. in Bakirkoy, another area where locals shop...This area is on the European side, about 15 -20 minutes by car in good traffic.

When you ask the guy he says he doesn't sell carpets, but when you show video, he takes you up in the lift. It's shop 28, can't recall the name but sells towels downstairs.

Hi, if im not mistaken this is the address. Fincancılar Sk. No:28 Mercan 34116 Fatih/İstanbul You can see the entrance at minute 4:40

[@maxfeldman6654]

Small update : i went to the same place 2 days ago and the prices are much higher. Maybe it because the inflation went worse. The tea set in the same place costs me 175 (after bargaining) instead of 75 in your video.

[@BeryIstanbulTips]

Thank you for the update! Also take into consideration that this video is almost 3 years old 😀 so during that time prices change a lot plus the inflation going on in the last months, is normal that things won’t cost the same any more. But still that area is way more affordable than inside the Grand Bazaar or Spice bazaar 😀

[@maxfeldman6654]

You are the best! Thanks for the great content!

[@BeryIstanbulTips]

Hi, thank you very much. I don’t remember the exact place but it was in “Tahtakale, Sabuncu Hanı street”. Since there are many similar shops next to each other you will see that store and many others selling them, they all have the same prices. Those stores are a few meters away from the Spice Bazaar.

Elena M m m Hola linda! Muchas gracias por verlo. Un gusto para nosotros poder compartirles los tips que sabemos y así ayudarles un poco en sus viajes con más opciones. En cuanto a lo del regateo en todos los mercaditos y tiendas dentro y fuera de los bazares se prestan a regatear especialmente si se compran varios productos :) y si se paga en efectivo más descuento hacen por eso es mejor llevar efectivo para comprar en esa zona.
