These
are the addresses that will help you to spend a lot of money in
Istanbul!
For more information please refer to part 1 of this article.
Dance costumes
Most
of the shops own a website that shows their style of costumes
and some have a map for directions on it. Generally they
are very easy
to
find,
especially
in the Grand
Basar. Broken English is spoken in most places.
Remember: BARGAIN! To
call or fax dial ++90 for Turkey and +212 for Istanbul.
If
you go to these shops and have any additional information you
would like to share, please tell me.
The
shops are listed according to city parts / streets. I have also created
a Google
map to guide you.

Dance
shows
There
is an official price for all of these shows. But yes, you can
also bargain about that! Ask your hotel receptionists, to
call there to make a reservation. The standard program of these
shows are some Turkish folklore dances, two to four Oryantal
dancers, a live band and an entertainer that will sing a song
in every language of the world. Very touristy but also entertaining.
Food is generally good as well.
