TURKISH TEA CULTURE

People may assume Turkish Coffee is the national drink of Turkey but this could not be more wrong.. We love drinking tea from sunrise to sunset and there is never a bad time to drink it in here, Turkey! A young boy carrying a silver tray hurries through the crowd to deliver small tulip shaped glasses filled with black tea is a very familiar sight in streets. Shopkeepers often offer customers a Turkish tea specially in Grand Bazaar, as a sign of friendship and hospitality. During your holiday, browsing through shops, you only have to say “yes” when being offered the "Çay" :) To see unique Turkish Tea Sets and delicious Turkish Tea you can visit; www.grandbazaarshopping.com 

Turkish Peshtemal, what is so special about it?

Turkish Peshtemal is known as Traditional Turkish Towel and used in the Turkish Baths. Peshtemals can be in very different colors and styles.

The peshtemal absorbs water as fast as a traditional towel, dries more quickly, takes up less space an is very easy to carry! Because of these reasons, it is a great alternative to the traditional towel in bathroom, SPA, beach, pool, sport facilities and for a baby care. Grand Bazaar is a great spot to find your unique peshtemal, if you don't have a chance to come, you can always shop these beautiful peshtemals and other Turkish handcrafts from Grand Bazaar online!
