Chic Shopping in Istanbul
NISANTASI is Istanbul’s trendiest shopping district, as well as the birthplace of the Nobel Prize-winning author Orhan Pamuk. And Abdi Ipekci Caddesi is its most glamorous street, though, like much of Mr. Pamuk’s work, it has a dark side. It is named after Abdi Ipekci, a Turkish journalist assassinated here in 1979 by Mehmet Agca, who later tried to kill Pope John Paul II; a memorial marks the spot where Mr. Ipekci was gunned down.
