Monday Market Istanbul | 53 Street Bazar

There is a big truth, and that is that Istanbul is one of the most expensive cities in Turkey to travel to, and some people who travel to this city cannot buy the goods they need because of the high price.

I wish I had been familiar with the weekly markets of Istanbul before my trip to Istanbul. I could buy the things I needed from these markets from the very first day of my trip. Unfortunately, in the last days of my trip, I got to know the weekly markets of Istanbul, such as Monday Market Istanbul.

I didn’t get many opportunities to buy from them, and I was only able to visit some of them and prepare a report for you.

Monday market Istanbul

In this article from the Traveling Topic website, I am going to introduce you to the markets that are held in different places in Istanbul on Mondays so that you can buy most of the goods you need at a lower price and save some of your money.

Unlike Sunday markets, Monday markets are not crowded, and usually fewer tourists go to these markets. And most of the people who shop in these markets are people living in Istanbul.

If you are interested in cheap goods in Monday Bazaar, read the rest of this article carefully and share it with your friends.

GÖZTEPE Monday market in KADIKÖY neighborhood

In this market, agricultural products such as lettuce, carrots, walnuts, onions, potatoes, tomatoes, eggplants and various fruits are sold at reasonable prices.

When I was in this market, I saw a man baking fresh bread in a corner, and people were also standing in line to buy fresh bread, and this scene was interesting to me.

This market is more organized than other Monday markets in Istanbul, and for this reason, some tourists also visit this market.

In addition to the things I mentioned, clothes, accessories, home appliances, cosmetics, cloth and tea are also sold in this market. You can buy quality T-shirts, jeans, shoes, and sweatshirts at a very reasonable price from this market. You can buy anything you can think of in this market.

In addition to agricultural products, clothes are also sold in this market, but the number of sellers who sell clothes is small. So it is better to go to this market to buy food and fruits.

When I was in this bazaar, a loud voice in Arabic was being played, and it caught my attention. When I asked the local people about this, they said that it is the sound of the call to prayer and that this sound is broadcast from the mosque every day.

This market is one of Istanbul’s farmers’ markets, and if you are interested in these types of markets, I suggest you read the article ” Istanbul Farmers Markets.”

Tips you should know before going to Market Monday

These markets are not as luxurious as other shopping centers in Istanbul, and few tourists visit them.

Most of the visitors to these markets are local people who go to these markets to buy the food they need, such as eggs, fruits and vegetables.

Suppose you plan to stay in Istanbul for a short time. In that case, it is better not to visit these markets and instead visit the tourist places of the city, but if you are going to stay in this city for several months like me, it is better to buy the food you need from these markets at a lower price to reduce the cost of living.
