Local Bazaar of Edessa
The shops of Edessa Local Bazaar in Sanliurfa, are a lively insight into the city’s long standing traditions.
Once named Edessa, the old market streets of Sanliurfa rolled back off into the centuries with the scent of spices, the glint of copperware and the sound of craftsmen at work.
From handwoven textiles to regional specialities such as isot pepper and pistachios, the bazaar is a reflection of the city’s multi-cultural history.
You wander its alleys and feel you have stepped back in time to a living museum of Anatolian trade and culture.
