5. Last but not least we have the Spice Bazaar. I recommend everyone to go to the Spice Bazaar rather than the Grand Bazaar. I got a little overwhelmed with the Grand Bazaar between all the junk they sell and the jewelry stores that sell all the small pieces. At the spice bazaar, the merchants let you try various kinds of candy that are called "Turkish Delight". These make a great gift for that special loved one. Also if there is a "chef" in your family the spice set will make a perfect gift. He or she will be thrilled. As far as interior design goes, the glass vases are pretty and would look great in someone's contemporary home, but with the airlines and their weight restrictions I think and recommend it would be better to ship the items home. It would be cheaper in the long run!
