Holidays In Turkey – Shop ‘Til You Drop
Many people when asked to picture Istanbul instantly envision the Grand Bazaar which teems full of exotic eastern treasures. With so many excuses for shopping its no wonder that many people return from holidays in Turkey with bags crammed full of goods. Exotic Istanbul bridges Europe and Asia and is a fusion of eastern and western culture, with many souvenirs reflecting this vibrancy:
What comes as a surprise to many people while on their Turkey holidays is the influx of modern shopping malls. The city has more shopping malls than most major cities in Europe and North America. There are over 50 in total, but of these only 15 are large and contain more than 100 shops in one location. The Cevahir Shopping Mall which features 343 shops within its 420,000 square metres is the largest shopping mall in Europe and the sixth largest in the world. It also features the second largest clock in the world, 14 cinema screens and a rollercoaster within its grounds. Â Holidaymakers will be able to find many of their favourite shops in this mall as the centre features many famous Western brands that had not previously had a presence in Turkey. Cevahir has many popular Western brands such as Topshop, River Island, Debenhams, Miss Selfridge and Zara!
If you choose to make your holidays in Turkey all-inclusive then all the food and drink that you can possibly manage is included in the cost of your holiday. You can give your friends and family back home a taste of Turkey with some authentic souvenirs purchased from the Egyptian Spice Market. There is more than just spices on sale at this market and visitors can find boxes of authentic Turkish delights amongst sticky baklava and mint teabags – all of which make great souvenirs.

John Coltrane (Single Titles-Biographies) $8.95 This book uses Coltrane’s catalog of essential performances and recordings as touchstones for telling the story of the musician’s life and times. It puts Coltrane’s most productive musical years in the context of the social and political upheaval of the 1950s-1960s but always shows Coltrane as an artist somehow beyond his times–and to some degree not of this world…. |
