Lost in the Grand Bazaar

#falladventures Lost in the Grand Bazaar The moment I stepped into the Grand Bazaar, I felt like I had entered another century. The air was filled with the aroma of spices, leather, and Turkish coffee. I wandered through endless corridors of colorful lamps, silk scarves, and hand-painted ceramics — every corner seemed to tell a story. Shopkeepers greeted me with warm smiles and friendly bargaining that turned into laughter. I bought a small evil eye charm for good luck and watched artisans create beautiful copper pieces by hand. The light filtering through the domes above made the whole place glow. The Grand Bazaar isn’t just a market; it’s the living heart of Istanbul.
