Artrium
This Aladdin’s cave of a shop is crammed with antique ceramics, maps, prints and jewellery. Make sure you check out both the gorgeous felt clothing and the exquisite miniatures by Iranian artist Haydar Hatemi. If you’re after anything in particular, ask the owner, and she’ll rummage upstairs in the storage area where excess stock is kept.

Khaftan
Owner Adnan Cakariz sells antique Kütahya and İznik ceramics to collectors and museums here and overseas, so you can be sure that the pieces he sells in his own establishment are top-notch. Gleaming Russian icons, delicate calligraphy (old and new), ceramics, Karagöz puppets and contemporary paintings are all on show in this gorgeous shop.

Anadol Antik
Fancy a wooden door from an Ottoman house? Or perhaps a ceramic-clad wood stove? This cavernous shop is filled with a hodgepodge of curios and collectables. If you brave the dust and the dim lights you just might find yourself a treasure.
