T here’s nothing as much fun in Turkey as shopping. It is a genuine mini ritu- al, complete with barter- ing and tea sipping, and there’s no doubt you’ll find a thousand little things, great prices and good qual- ity. Here are some things you shouldn’t return home without… Olive soap Completely natural ingredients are gen- tle on the skin and can even be used for bathing babies. Buy these green soaps for your home to smell of olives year- round. Eye as an amulet It is a sure sign that someone has been to Turkey when they have a blue eye charm to ward off evil, or a Nazar Bon- cuk, as they are called in this country. The strength and colour of the eye is said to prevent adversity, which is why this talisman decorates everything - necklac- es, key rings, doors, mirrors etc. There are also some that are slightly more luxu- rious and elegant, so you can be picky… Turkish tea and glasses Tea glasses are a symbol of Turkish cul- ture, representing a tradition of consum- ing this beverage throughout the entire day that dates back hundreds of years. Being offered tea and invited to drink it together with your host is a gesture of friendship. Apart from their attractive look, the uniquely curved shape of the glasses also helps keep the tea warm. Backgammon set Backgammon has existed for thousands of years, having been played by the an- cient Egyptians, Persians and Romans. Bringing a hand-crafted set back from your trip to Turkey is the perfect way to convey a little history and culture, while also providing good fun. Mosaic lamps Inspired by the vibrant decorations of mighty sultans’ palaces, Turkish mo- saic lamps shine with the colours of Ottoman culture. Crafted by hand, they combine Turkey’s centuries-old glassmaking tradition with the era of oil lamps. They can hang in chande- lier form or stand on a table.

U Turskoj ne postoji ništa toliko zabavno kao što je kupovina. To je pravi mali ritual uz cenkanje i čaj, a nesumnjivo ćete pronać i hiljadu malih stvari, odlične ce- ne i dobar kvalitet. Evo nekih stvari bez kojih ne bi trebalo da se vraćate kući… Sapun od maslina Potpuno prirodni sastojci su nežni za kožu i mogu se čak koristiti za ku- panje beba. Kupite ove zelene sapun- čiće da vam kuća cele godine miriše na masline. Oko kao amajlija Siguran znak da je neko bio u Tur- skoj je to da poseduje plavo oko protiv uroka ili nazar bončuk, kako ga nazi- vaju u ovoj zemlji. Kažu da snaga i boja oka sprečavaju nevolje, pa zato ukraša- va sve – od ogrlica, privezaka za klju- čeve, do vrata, retrovizora… Ima i onih malo luksuznijih i elegantnijih, pa bi- rajte…
Turski čaj i čašice Čašice za turski čaj simbol su tur- ske kulture, stotine godina duge tradi- cije napitka koji se konzumira tokom celog dana. Ako vam ponude čaj i pozo- vu vas da ga zajedno popijete, znajte da je to gest prijateljstva. Osim što izgleda lepo, jedinstveno zakrivljeni oblik po- maže da čaj ostane topao. Bekgemon set Bekgemon postoji već hiljadama godina – igrali su ga drevni Egipćani, Persijanci i Rimljani. Ručno izrađen set sa putovanja u Tursku biće savršen na- čin da prenesete malo istorije i kulture, a pritom se dobro i zabavite. Lampe sa mozaikom Inspirisani živopisnim ukrasima palata moćnih sultana, turske mozaik lampe prikazuju boje osmanske kultu- re. Ručno rađene, kombinuju vekovnu tradiciju proizvodnje stakla u Turskoj sa erom uljanih lampi. Mogu biti u obliku lustera ili stajati na stolu.
