Tip: Do the covered lanes first, then the open bazaar. The 73 units run to spices, handicrafts and gifts.
Address: Alaüddevle Sk. No:30, 27400 Şahinbey/Gaziantep
Gümrük Hanı is one of the old customs inns of Gaziantep, a stone courtyard off Gümrük Caddesi where coffee grinders and craft workshops still trade.
Tip: Kahveci Seddar Bey works out of the courtyard six days a week, closed on Mondays.
Almacı Pazarı has traded in central Gaziantep for around 250 years, and its stalls still carry the isot, pekmez, dried aubergine and green pistachio.
Tip: Buy isot here rather than at the airport. Ask for the coarse flakes, not the powder.
Elmacı Pazarı is the biggest food market in Gaziantep, a spice and nut bazaar named for the apple trade that once filled these lanes off Karatarla.
Tip: Come early. The nut sellers restock at dawn and the lanes are impassable by mid-morning.
