I took a trip to Kadıköy last week for some art supplies and thought I'd mention the shop Don Kişot. I stumbled upon this teeny art supply store while looking for another one I was told about, and discovered that not only did Don Kişot have most of what I needed, the owner was so friendly and nice, and the prices were the best I have found so far. Finding an art store with decent large canvases has been such a challenge for me in Istanbul, that I'm happy to have found this hidden gem.
After loading up on paints and ink, I wandered around the back roads in search of lunch, which I found at a pide stand.
:-) Yay! Good art supplies are so difficult to find. I've only now come across one that I like but is a little on the expensive side, plus it closes real early. Hopefully I'll find a better one soon.
Harika is the Turkish word for wonderful, marvellous, extraordinary. It has always been one of my most favourite words, for both its meaning and the pleasure of pronouncing it.

Cute boys at the food stand btw, lucky you!
I hope you find a better one too, it makes such a difference to have a good art store nearby!
The cheapest you can find in Eminönü.
Thank you Selma!
