Just when you think "it's over", you come across another passage around the corner and as you progress, you disappear inland.

Hello Mr. Ahmet,
First of all, thank you very much for preparing such a comprehensive and beautiful blog. I will be there for a week in September, I have been reading your articles one by one for days with great pleasure, I can't tell you how useful they are. :) I have a question, is it clear on which days the second-hand market you mentioned is opened or not, or does it open on any day for those who want it spontaneously? Accordingly, I will include this place in my list.
