Where are the local street markets (bazaars) in Kadıköy and Fatih/Balat, Istanbul, and what days are they open?

Around the Kadıköy market there's plenty beyond shopping: shops and cafes along Bahariye Caddesi, the Moda waterfront with bookshops nearby, currency exchange offices on Söğütlüçeşme Caddesi, and free walking tours that often start from the Kadıköy ferry pier.

The small street market with tables spotted in the afternoon in Fatih near the colorful houses (Balat) area was likely a local neighborhood stall market not pinned on Google Maps, distinct from the district's big weekly bazaar.

The main, largest market in the Fatih district is Çarşamba Pazarı, held every Wednesday near Fatih Mosque, known as one of Istanbul's biggest bazaars for clothes, fabrics, and household goods.

Kadıköy's famous Tuesday market isn't marked as a single pin on Google Maps — it spreads through the backstreets behind Bahariye Caddesi, near Hasan Kaptan Sokak, so it's easy to miss if you're relying only on navigation.
