I agree Turkish hospitality is great,you are made to feel so welcome in Turkish homes,I stayed with a family in Turkey for 3 months and it was very good,as I didnt want to freeload i used to do the family shop and help with the household bills.The second time I stayed was also great,however the bills started to increase,out of the norm if you will.I still did the family shop every week and helped with the bills but then I was asked by the Lady of the house to buy a new cooker and an iron!I stopped in my tracks I couldn't believe it,paying bills for staying there is one thing but buying domestic apliances is another,and in Turkey these are expensive compared to the U.K.
As a consequence I fell out with the family,hospitality can also be two ways can it not?/My family here also looked after their son he stayed with my family for a month or two when he couldn't find anywhere to live and they never asked for a penny from him,even though he was working!
I think I was just unlucky on those two occasions, because I stayed with other people in Turkey and never encountered a problem,but in the main Turkish hospitality is great.

In here both side know how to behave so there is no problem. You are right if someone is in your home you cant say no or bad things and you cant behave him/her bad. Its our culture.

But guests also dont exploit this situation. Cause being contended with something is also in our culture. They dont ask something, they dont want something. Host have to think and serve.

If you are a foreigner dont worry. Turks have a big tolerance. You dont have to think abouth our traditions and no one will blame you for this. For example if we have a rule and if you dont obey no one will remind that. They thougth that you dont know abouth it so no problem.

For example women have to cover their heads in our holy places. But i saw alot of tourists who has nothing in their heads.

And mylo sorry for that weird family. How a weird woman
