This bazaar was just 5 minutes walk from the Beyaz Saray hotel. There are approximately 5000 stores in this bazaar with about 9 or more different gates (Maybe more not too sure how many)to enter from which means one can enter this giant of a shopping complex from all directions. All stores have similar merchandise and prices vary from store to store. The store keepers will lure you into their store and will always tell you that you are their first customer and will slash prices so you buy from them.Sales gimic. Suggest you shop around and buy when you know what you want and how much you are willing to pay. They are very curtious and polite even if you don't buy from them but seeing their kindness we did support some of them who went out of their way to please us. Loved this shopping experience in the grand bazaar..will go there again and again..so much to see that one day is not enough.

This mosque is a true masterpiece of Islamic architecture and a landmark that showcases the rich history and cultural heritage of Turkey. The mosque is truly stunning, with its towering minarets and intricate geometric patterns. You will be awestruck by the grandeur of the structure and the incredible attention to detail in its design. Inside, the mosque is just as impressive, with stunning stained glass windows and beautiful calligraphy adorning the walls. The atmosphere inside the mosque is both peaceful and uplifting. The location of the mosque is also noteworthy, as it is situated in the historic district of Eyup, which is considered a very important place in Islamic history. Eyup was the first Muslim settlement in Istanbul and the location of the tomb of Abu Ayyub Al-Ansari, a companion of the Prophet Muhammad. I highly recommend a visit to Eyup sultan mosque

....we were on a guided tour and this Mosque is right in the same square where we had our lunch! We visited on New Years day not that it matters what day it is or was, there were two funerals taking place so the place was jam packed with tourist and also with locals attending the funerals as also with shoppers as the shopping centre is right there! Indeed its a stunning building and the atmosphere was that of reverence! It was also a very interesting experience to see the tree that is claimed to be just over 600 hundred years old that was planted on this site by a friend of the Prophet Mohamed. The cemetery is also another site to witness especially the tombs that are on the hillside of the mosque! There is also a beautiful spray fountain in front of the mosque and if you can find a place to sit down the sound of the water is very calming .............
