My biggest suggestion is to wait at least an hour after it says they open before you go. I went at 11:00 and they were just starting to set up their stalls. I walked around for probably 45 minutes and maybe a third of them were set up by then.

Nothing special about this market with brand fakes of low quality. They all sell the same bags, watches and football t-shirts. Nice to go for a walk, but dint expect anything special. Istanbul’s Grand Bazar is 1000 times better.

Easy to access via metro train to prince Edward. Not huge but very crowded market. Bargains and possible to reduce the price about 50-60% easily. A lot of the vendors sold the same things so it was on repeat. Food places all around the market and some more expensive stores on the sides of the market.

We have not been to the Ladies Market for a couple of years, and we visited this place on a Monday night. Over the years, we note the degrading of the market in that it does not command the level of visitors of the past. The wares are also not that interesting, other than a couple of souvenir stalls. The handbags, etc, carrying the big brands are likely to be copies. When we asked the price of a pouch we were interested, the stall-keeper gave a ridiculous price, which steadily reduced to half the original asking price when we did not bite and started to walk away. So do look around and haggle if you are indeed interested in a purchase.
