Souvenirs from Turkey: the main thing is originality

For tourists, there is no more attractive country than Turkey, which provides its guests with the most comfortable conditions for rest, a large number of different adventures, fairly democratic prices and, of course, the widest choice of souvenirs and gifts that can be remembered or presented to friends And relatives.

Choosing which souvenirs from Turkey to take with them to Russia, our compatriots, first of all, pay attention to amazing carpets and articles of cotton, souvenirs made of copper and leather. Turkey is famous for its craftsmen who create gold ornaments embroidering colorful designs on saris and kerchiefs. Interesting is pottery and ceramics. At fabulous oriental bazaars you can find anything you like, which turns the search for memorable souvenirs into an activity so engrossing that it can compete with beach rest.

However, all of the above is a fairly standard set of souvenirs - to really surprise those who are destined for souvenirs from Turkey, you will have to work hard to find something most-most. As an example, you can bring carpets - the famous Turkish handmade carpets, which our compatriots usually buy in several copies at a time. Experienced travelers recommend as long as possible to stroll around the market, look at the presented assortment of carpets and not lose their heads from the beauty of patterns, multicolored threads and a variety of subjects, and then in some inconspicuous shop one can find a product of unusual beauty, with an original story about local myths And legends. It is such a thing that you can truly decorate your house and proudly show it to your friends.

The one who first gets to Turkey is literally dumbfounded by an abundance of amulets from the evil eye, hung simply on the streets, made in the form of a pattern on any items or exhibited in shop windows and shops. Such an amulet is a round or oval blue eye, sometimes very large (according to local residents, the larger the amulet, the more benefit it brings), up to the size of the tray. Such souvenirs from Turkey, of course, look frightening, but they will be incredibly spectacular gifts.

Sweets - another great Turkish souvenir, short-lived, but pleasant and tasty. In this country, different "goodies" can be purchased at every step: chocolate and pistachio baklava, jam from rose petals, juicy dried fruits, nuts and a real fairy delicacy created from lemon, orange, strawberry or other fruit juice sprinkled with coconut shaving - oriental Sweets rahat lekoum. It is convenient that in the market buyers are offered special vacuum packages in which all delicious things will survive a trip to cold Russia.

And such a wonderful souvenir, like tea and a set for tea drinking, will not only remind you of the amazing rest in Turkey with all its entertainments and pleasures, but also will warm on a winter evening, restoring strength and peace of mind. Tea blends are sold here so diverse that it is very difficult to evaluate their flavor and to choose one particular one - you will have to take black and green tea, delicious berry and fruit, and many other varieties. In addition, do not forget that a high-quality tea ceremony should be carried out from the appropriate dishes, from traditional Turkish cups of small size in the form of a tulip. Such souvenirs from Turkey will not leave anyone indifferent, and their originality will not only emphasize the taste of their owners, but also demonstrate the diligence shown by tourists in the complex matter of choosing gifts for their relatives in their homeland.
