Kayseri 2475

view map

The city has some fine covered bazaars.

This is the new variety, that you can see all over the country (Bursa has a large one). They don't provide the sense of intimacy, and awe for antiquity, that the old ones bring. In some cases whole streets have been covered this way (I found the bazaar area in Antakya partly covered by these plastic roofs). They keep the rain out, and much of the sun, and for some reason the most modern parts are always filled with jewellery shops.
