Turkish hospitality is the best 🥩🍔

#hospitality My recent trip to Istanbul was nothing short of amazing, but what truly stood out was the famous Turkish hospitality. From the moment I landed, I was met with warm smiles and welcoming gestures. Staying in the Sultanahmet district, I felt like I was transported back in time with its historic mosques and palaces nearby. Every café I walked into, I was greeted with complimentary Turkish tea (çay) and sweets. The locals were eager to share stories and help me find the best spots to visit. No entrance fee required—just pure hospitality! ☕🇹🇷 One of the highlights was visiting a traditional Turkish restaurant where the owner, Mehmet, sat down with us after the meal to share more tea and ask about our journey. This personal touch made me feel like I was visiting family. The Grand Bazaar and Hagia Sophia are both within walking distance, so you can soak in history and culture all day long. In Istanbul, the hospitality is as rich as the city’s history, and I left with new friends and unforgettable memories. Can’t wait to return! #turkishhospitality #istanbulvibes #grandbazaar #turkishtea #sultanahmet #istanbulmagic
