Your journey begins at the historic Spice Bazaar, where the air is filled with the scents of exotic spices and Turkish delights. As you wander through the lively backstreets, your guide will introduce you to centuries-old remedies, unique beauty products, and the traditions that shape Istanbul’s food culture.
