HIDDEN
TREASURE
- On my first visit to Istanbul's
Grand Bazaar, my guide introduced me
to a remarkable silver salesman whom
I now visit every time I go. His pieces
are astonishingly well-crafted and make
amazing gifts. When the clasp on one of
my necklaces broke, I brought it to him
on my next trip and, as I watched him fix
it, I marveled at the fact that I'd found
my local jeweler half a world away from
home. I've been to Istanbul many times
now and never tire of iconic monuments
like the Blue Mosque and Topkapi Palace,
but my favorite place will always be the
Grand Bazaar.
