Istanbul Local Customs: 330 reviews and 415 photos
You know how when you go out to eat, as soon as you are done, they bring the check right away, and make you feel guilty about hanging around?
They don't have that custom in Turkey. In fact, in lots of places, they just keep bringing you tea and fruit and stuff until you have to beg them to stop.
So if you dont have hours to sit around smoking and drinking tea, it is best to ask for the check when you want it....otherwise you will be waiting frustrated for a very long time.
In Turkish, say "hesap lutfen" or just make the air signal of writing and they will get the hint.
