Lonely Planet review for Şark Kahvesi

The Şark’s arched ceiling betrays its former existence as part of a bazaar street; years ago some enterprising kahveci (coffee-house owner) walled up several sides and turned it into a cafe. The nicotine colour on the walls is testament to its long pedigree as a popular tea and cigarette spot for the bazaar’s stallholders. These days they have to fight for space with tourists, who love the quirky ‘flying dervish’ murals, the old photographs on the walls, and the cheap tea and coffee.
