The Şark's arched ceiling betrays its former existence as part of a bazaar street; years ago some enterprising kahveci (coffeehouse owner) walled up several sides and turned it into a café. The nicotine colour on the walls is testament to its long pedigree as a popular tea and cigarette spot for the bazaar's stall-holders. These days they fight for space with tourists who love the quirky 'flying dervish' murals.
