Big market experience

Handsome and charming Turkish men pulling tourists into their trap to buy spices or carpet. They usually speak pretty well in English and with non-Turkish accent. You can consider this being a sign that things they sell are overpriced. That could be my short description for the Spice market and Grand Bazaar.  However annoying this may sound, you can't skip those two when visiting Istanbul. Just for the experience of this colorful and loud mass of people. This might not be different from any big market in any other country. There you can overpay for the goods or get into people traffic jam or just observe how much passion they put into trying to sell anything. Yes, anything and this applies to all corners for Istanbul. It's like they were made for selling. To make it happen they could promise you discounts and then forget they did it when it comes to paying. Some clients don't argue and end up overpaying, others stand for the themselves and usually the sellers don't argue too much at this point. Devious and righteous at the same time. If you let them fool you, they will, if not - they won't.
