A Pazar is a fun mix between a Farmers Market and TJ Max, and about every district in Istanbul has their own Pazar once a week. It is held in a local parking lot, and you can buy the most interesting things for a reasonable price. You'll find the common designer names here, and I was told that they are either fake or fallen off the trucks from the factory. If you check your closet, I'll bet you will find something that has been made in Turkey. My favorite stalls are the food stalls where they give out samples of homemade bread and fresh cheese. Yum!
