TL;DR
Istanbul's Fatih, Sultanahmet, and Karaköy neighborhoods have street markets and bazaars for fresh cherries, fruit, and vegetables. Supermarkets are a fallback option.
What the community said
In the Karaköy and Galata area, look for street fruit and vegetable vendors scattered around the neighborhood — seasonal produce stalls are common. If no market is running, the Beşiktaş market nearby is an easy option.

Fatih district has neighborhood markets (semt pazarı) on specific days of the week. It's worth checking the schedule — markets typically run 1–2 days a week in different parts of the district.

Near Sultanahmet, the closest large market area is around Eminönü, near the Egyptian (Spice) Bazaar. Fresh fruit and vegetable vendors line the streets outside the bazaar and along the waterfront.
