Or, in the case of Istanbul, the Grand Bazaar. The Grand Bazaar, located two tram stops from the Sultanahmet area is like any major market in any city, full of kitschy trashy things that you probably shouldn't buy because you don't need, but you will because you're here. In the case of Istanbul, it involves evil eyes that were made in China, colored lamps that may not be compatible in America, and colorful wares that don't go with anything else in your house. There was also a book market nearby that housed books from beautiful illustrated Korans to C++ manuals.
