Bedesten Bazaar
Bedesten Çarşısı
The old city market between the Mevlana Museum and the Aziziye Mosque, with spices, copperware, carpets and traditional snacks
Bedesten is the oldest commercial district in Konya. Its lanes sell spices, dried fruit, copperware, felt hats, small whirling dervish figurines and other souvenirs, and there are workshops keeping old crafts alive, such as saddle-making and tinware. Nearby you can try Konya specialities: Fırın kebabı (oven-baked lamb), Etli ekmek (a long flatbread pizza) and Mevlana şekeri (a chewy sweet). Open about 9:00–19:00, and some shops close on Sundays.
