On our third day in Istanbul, we moved from the apartment to the Golden Horn Hotel, where we would join our tour group later in the day. We took the opportunity to visit the Spice Market that is located in Eminonü, close to the waterfront and hotel. Although smaller, we found this to be much more interesting than the Grand Bazaar. There are several aisles in the market, where vendors sell all kinds of foods and other merchandise.
