Market in Izmir
Kemeralti is Izmir’s historic bazaar district, a sprawling covered market area behind the Konak waterfront with mosques, synagogues, caravanserais, and thousands of shops. Free to browse. The Kizlaragasi Han (a beautifully restored Ottoman caravanserai) is inside the bazaar. Budget travelers walk through Kemeralti, drink cheap Turkish tea in the courtyard of the Han, and shop where Izmir has been shopping for 400 years.
