Beşiktaş (Ortaköy)– Giftware

Ortaköy Mosque (Büyük Mecidiye Mosque) is the most important symbol of this neighbourhood. The counters that are set up on the streets are full of colorful, unique handmade giftware which are impossible to find anywhere else. May be a wool knit hat, may be a book marker or a piece of jewelry… Besides, eating Ortaköy’s famous “kumpir (stuffed baked potatoes)” whilst walking through the counters is most enjoyable.
