What are the best souvenirs to get from Istanbul? |
Travel Info I will be in Istanbul, Turkey for a week in August. Looking to ship back all sorts of authentic Turkish goods. What do you suggest? Travel Tips go to the grand bazaar and you will find a big and good collection of souvenirs there. Others I recommend rugs, leather (cheaper here) as the standard tourist stuff. I also bought some tapestries and a glass mosaic chandelier. Nazar boncuk, the most important country of textile so you can go to W, Fabrika,Mavi Jeans to buy some clothing for example you can go to Kanyon shopping to find all Turkish brands,nargile, rugs, Pasabahce goods like vases,ebruli..., go to Ortakoy to buy silver jewelry. nargile There are two famous touristic places on Sirkeci, Istanbul : Kapali Charshi and Misir Charshi. You will lose your eyes there, chosing for souvenir :) Good luck! People will give you lots of answers and places to buy them but I will give you a very tried and true answer guaranteed to save you lots of money, make for easy packing and make a big hit if given to people back home as a gift. What you want to look for, there are many of them available is beautiful cloth mouse pads that look like expensive turkish carpets. They come in many patterns and lots of colors so you can give them to lots of people with all of them being different. They are so easy to pack in your luggage, they don't cost much and they will last for a long while. Truly a memorable gift. If you want a more upscale gift, send back beautiful chai (tea) sets, many are very elaborately decorated, they are authentically Turkish and a beautiful gift that will be prized by all who receive them. They are less expensive than leather goods or turkish carpets which are very overpriced. Spice packets from the Spice market are always appreciated and also easy to pack. They come in attractive assortments. dont miss the chance to see Grand Bazaar and there you will have many options and also you can buy T眉rk莽e albums |
