Traveling is a wonderful form of recreation. Sunny beaches, sea air and beautiful nature, all this pleases the eye and soothes the nerves. However, many people choose to go shopping abroad.
Turkey is a great country to shop. Here you can buy not only souvenirs, but interior items, clothes, tea, sweets and even jewelry.
What to buy in Turkey
Everyone knows that Turkey is famous for its textiles. It is sold in any store, in bazaars. The tour operators even offer special trips to the factory, where you can buy bed linen, towels, bamboo and cotton robes for the whole family. Bamboo textiles retain their original appearance for a long time, do not fade during washing, are very pleasant to the body, and perfectly absorb water. The big advantage of bamboo is its hypoallergenic properties. Therefore, it is worth purchasing towels and a bathrobe made of bamboo fiber for children.
A large selection of leather goods is offered by Turkish factories. The choice of styles and colors is amazing. Shops with leather goods are distinguished not only by affordable prices, a good choice, but also by pleasant service and friendly staff.
But not everyone decides to buy leather in Turkey, and it is not convenient to carry jackets and jackets in a suitcase. But shopping in this hot country is so diverse that it is impossible to leave without shopping.
For example, sweet lovers should try and buy local delicacies called Turkish delight and sherbet. Turkish sweets are natural and consist of thickened fruit juices, nuts and dried fruits. In any shop, you can try everything in advance.
For sweets, any seller will offer tea. You can also choose them for every taste: black strong, green and hibiscus. Completely natural composition and excellent quality distinguish Turkish teas from others.
Shopping rules in Turkey
Everyone has long known that the Turks initially wind up the price of any of their goods so that they can bargain. You need to ask the cost first and then divide it in half. Of course, not all merchants will make such a discount, but if you try, you can significantly reduce the price.
If the size of the discount does not suit you, then you should ask the Turkish seller for a gift. This can be a pack of tea, a magnet, a plate, or a small towel. In any case, the bargaining process will bring pleasure to both parties.
And, of course, you shouldn't make purchases on the very first day of your arrival in Turkey. It is worth going around a few shops, going to the bazaar, and then deciding where it is better to buy what you need.
