For me, the most terrible place in Istanbul is Kapali Charshi ("Great Bazaar"). I am frightened by a large crowd of people, noise, screaming, crowds ...Women in black veils, trying on no less black new veils, goods from the category "everything for 5 lire", heartbreaking cries of touts ...Endless streets and alleys overflowing with various goods and merchants, fleeing from the main covered building of the bazaar to nearby neighborhoods. Get lost here - just spit. Orienting, counting the balconies, on the numerous minarets towering outside the bazaar is a thankless task and absolutely useless. I used to think that the "Grand Bazaar" and the "Egyptian Bazaar" (Spice Bazaar) are one and the same. In fact, these are two different bazaars, smoothly flowing one into the other. Entering the Grand Bazaar from Beyazı t Square, you will exit the Egyptian Bazaar towards Eminonu Pier. Or vice versa.
