Next, go shopping at the Grand Bazaar, where there is an overwhelming amount of things to see, taste, and buy! This is one of the largest and oldest covered markets in the world, with 61 covered streets and over 4,000 shops. I loved the Old Antique section most - fabulous for jewelry! We also scored on textiles and ceramics. 

For lunch head to the oasis that is Pandeli! Hidden away on the top of the spice market, this is such a reprieve from the bustle and hollering of the markets. The meal is incredible, and the space is so unique! 

Now that you've shopped and dined, spend the afternoon relaxing at Kilic Ali Pasa Hamami, which was built in the 1500s to serve the Ottoman Navy. It recently went through a meticulous restoration process (that took 7 years!) and is considered one of Istanbul's most famous hammams. Go for the full service, which includes a steam, scrub, and massage!
