Geo Quiz

Turkish neighborhood

Things Turkish figure in our Geo Quiz today. We’re looking for a neighborhood in Berlin where you might come across a Turkish marketplace:

“Walking thru the market you can get anything from diamond studded jeans to grape leaves for Turkish dalmadas.  You can  hear merchants haggling to try to get people to buy their feta cheese or olives and you don’t hear much German while you’re there its only Turkish.”

So  if you want to find your way to this Turkish market to buy a a pair of those designer jeans, you’re going to want to know the name of the neighborhood.

It’s right next to the Landwehrkanal that runs parallel to Berlin’s Spree river.
