a must visit restaurant above the spice bazaar. can be tricky to find, just ask any shopkeeper to point you in the direction of the stairs up to pandeli.
one of the oldest restaurants in the city, founded by a greek man (pandelis) from central anatolia. had been closed for years but recently reopened under new management. continues the same tradition of excellent food and service. I recommend going for lunch after exploring the local bazaars.
