Quoting ifigeneia: what can you say about me buying a kilim from kapalicarsi last time,when i visited istanbul
|
A kilim? Only? Haha, take notes: nargile, every kind of spice there is, teacups, tea spoons, leather masks...Oh I need days to write what I buy each time I go there.
In fact I was sooo proud to answers the questions of a research they were making at the turkish-greek borders the last time, about the money that I spend in Turkey during my visits. The officer was amazed and I was almost certain he was going to give me the first prize for the silliest tourist - customer of the year!
By the way, welcome to TC

Another tip for those interested in Turkey: the country is not only the coastal area as Marmaris, Kusadasi, Alanya and Side! Or just Istanbul. Very beautiful these places but widen your view, there is so much more to see! Go to the Black Sea Region, to the east, to the south-east. So beautiful, such friendly people, such delicious food! Places like Hatay (Antakya), Mardin, Van, Urfa, Barhal, Trabzon and Ani (Kars) are definitely worth a visit.

well robino1 i guess that zakynthos is not the perfect choice concerning visiting my country...
i guess it is one of the most touristical places and one according to my opinion abused from many hotels and owners of touristic operators..if u visited for example santorini or macedonia or crete rhodes etc u would leave from here with other impressions..i hope you will change your mind about greek natural beauties in future..
bye

Quoting Capoeira: This is a great idea. I have to say that I had the most amazing experiences in Turkey while riding the bus. YES, this is true. But when taking long 10hr. rides I got to talk to people who spoke no english and I only had a spanish/turkish dictionary. It is amazing how you can communicate flipping pages of the dictionary! On two different occasions I met families, on the bus, and they 'adopted' me. They invited me to eat with them, made sure I was ok at every stop, offering to buy me things, inviting me to pray at the mosques at the bus terminals with them and when we reached the final destinations really wanted me to come home with them. One woman even took a necklace off her neck and forced me to take it. I refused but she insisted. I really learned a lot about humility and true kindness. My only travel advice would be to take the bus!!! |
WOW! I wish I had that experience when I went, I think I might have to look at travelling on the bus more often I am going to be travelling alone and if someone invites me to a mosque etc I wouldn't hesitate to say yes! This is the best way to look into cultures and other people's way of life, I think it would be an experience to remember.
By the way Capo which part was you travelling from/to (just so I know what route to take)

My limited experience of Turkey is Istanbul twice and Olu Deniz on holiday!
I had "shopping" experiences in both. Istanbul we had a carpet shopping experience and in the end I had to take control (as all good women do!) and thank them profusly for their hospitality but we did not come to Istanbul loaded with GBP and about the best we can do is buy a couple of cups of tea 
Now Olu Deniz was something else! I bought a couple of pairs of jeans (of course fake designer sorts!) from a cheeky shop assistant who called me to the front of the shop to tell me he thought I was very sexy. Well for that I got a Tshirt thrown in and a pair of socks!!
What did you say about culture?
