Istanbul Local Custom Tips by Lion_Beat

At first I thought that people drink coffee here, because of the famous Turkish Coffee, but I was wrong. Instead it's TEA!
It's a trdition of drinking tea in Turkey I would say. Like in England or China, the tea drinking became part of the Turkish culture.
People drink tea here all day long, in the winter and in the summer, morning or evening! And the tea is really tasty, generally served in special small tea glass.
It is served at home, in any restaurant, at working places, and even in the street, at bus stations, and many many other places - ANYWERE!
I must tell you I have tasted so nice tea here!

In every region of Istanbul there are certain days of the week when right on the streets the local bazaars are opened.
Quite amasing, the tradition is still alive :)
But of course nowdays it doesnt look like The Grand Bazaar... You can find mostly things to eat here, clothes and some over things for the house.
So if you wiil be staying in Istanbul you can make you fruits and vegetables shopping on the street bazaar!
