Kadıköy Market

On the Asian side, the Kadıköy çarşı is a foodie’s delight and a favourite with locals — a maze of streets packed with fishmongers, delis, spice and coffee shops, pickle sellers, bakeries and buzzing meyhanes and cafes. Far less touristy than the old-city bazaars, it’s the perfect place to eat, browse and feel the pulse of everyday Istanbul.
