Turchia

Rispetto e buone maniere

• In mosques: shoes off, shoulders and knees covered, women cover their hair (scarves are often lent at the door). Avoid prayer times.
• Respect Atatürk and the Turkish flag: insulting them is a crime.
• Accept a glass of tea: it is a sign of friendship.
• Bargaining is normal in bazaars, not in shops with fixed prices.
• Tipping: about 5–10% in restaurants.
• Public displays of affection are frowned upon outside big cities.
