Black as Hell, Strong as Death, Sweet as Love
An old Turkish proverb perfectly describes the country's unique take on my favorite caffeinated beverage: Coffee!
The Spice Bazaar (or Egyptian Bazaar)
Its real name might be the Egyptian Bazaar (Mısır Çarşısı), but the Spice Bazaar is how everyone refers to it, and gives a better indication of what to expect inside. Found next to the Yeni Camii near the Golden Horn, this ancient covered market dates from 1660 and is Istanbul's second biggest bazaar.
