Finding Nemo In Sirkeci

Clown-Fish, photograph copyright Stephen Bray

Finding Nemo is one of Amazon’s favourite movies, but we found this little clown fish cleaning itself at Sirkeci during an afternoon shopping expedition.

We like to visit Sirkeci and came here often when we lived in Istanbul, now we simply visit the place on every visit. You can probably buy, or get a repair, of any item you can think of from ‘a little man from Sirkeci’. There’s a stall that repairs cigarette lighters and umbrellas. Another repairs watches, even complex mechanical complications manufactured in China! There are oodles of camera shops – I even found the new Leica M8 displayed in a small shop’s window here.

And of course there’s the historic Spice Bazaar. Watch your pockets if you visit though. Like all street markets this area is ideal for pick-pockets.
