Welcome & Introduction We will meet you at your hotel or a central meeting point and start our day together. After a short introduction to Istanbul’s vibrant shopping culture, I will ask about your personal interests — whether you’d like to focus more on jewelry, leather, carpets, sweets, or explore a mix of everything.

Jewelry & Precious Stones We will begin with jewelry. Together we will visit trusted jewelers in the Grand Bazaar, where you can explore Ottoman-inspired designs as well as modern collections in gold, silver, and precious stones. If you wish, we can also stop by a boutique for custom-made pieces.

Fur & Leather Next, we will continue to leather and fur ateliers, where you can find high-quality jackets, coats, and accessories. I will guide you through the best workshops, known for their craftsmanship and variety.

Carpets & Kilims We will then visit selected carpet galleries, where you will see beautiful handwoven silk, wool, and cotton carpets. You will also have the chance to watch a weaving demonstration and learn how to recognize authentic pieces.

Turkish Delights & Spices After carpets, we will walk through the famous Spice Bazaar. Here you can taste and shop for Turkish delights, baklava, saffron, dried fruits, and aromatic teas. We will stop for a tasting session so you can discover your favorite flavors.

Special Interest Shopping Toward the end of the day, we will focus on your personal areas of interest. This could be exploring branded watches such as Rolex, discovering high-end fashion boutiques, browsing for antiques, or visiting specialty shops that match your preferences.

Closing & Assistance Finally, I will help you with practical details such as shipping larger items (like carpets or furniture) and explain tax-free shopping procedures.
