Grand Bazaar chaos

The 22 entrances and 4,500 stalls in this covered marketplace make for a chaotic bargain-hunters' dream! It's great fun to tease stall holders by bartering and offering less than a third of their first offer, and arguing over the price with comments like 'but I have seven children at home, I can't afford that price!'. Very entertaining!
