Başdurak Kemeraltı Turistik El Sanatları Çarşısı

Must visit while in Izmir, muscle vendors are steps away.

This small bazaar under the beautiful historical mosque of Başdurak has just been restored and opened. It is very good point for tourists to shop quality souvenirs and handworks and handicrafts. There are lots of interesting shops with diverse products and basicly producers are salesperson thou..

A small street under a mosque with lots of traditional artisan crafts including felting, calligraphy, ceramics, and paintings. The artists work on the products on site and are very knowledgeable. I would highly recommend everyone to check out this area of the market - it is unique and a breath of fresh air from the rest of bazaar.
