Merter Bazaar, where you can find various products, is open on Sundays. In addition, it is pretty large, where you can encounter both Turkish-specific foods and hand-woven products. It draws attention with its affordable products and fresh products. When shopping at the lovely bazaars of Istanbul, you can practice Turkish with bazaar owners, too.
