Turkey Tours - Best Things You Can Bring Home

Pottery & Ceramics

These arts thrived under the Ottomans, whose skilled craftsmen perfected the coral red and cobalt blue of the Iznik tile.

No one has ever been able to reproduce the intensity of these colors, until now.

The main genuine proliferations leave the Iznik Foundation's workshop and showroom in Iznik, which has an extension in Istanbul.

Ceramics

Turkish Textiles

I bet you didn't realize it, but Turkey exports a huge amount of textiles, supplying the raw materials for well-known retailers such as OP, Calvin Klein, etc.

Many Istanbul residents head to one of these towns to stock up on plush towels and terry-cloth robes.

Copper Work

Turks use copper for everything, probably because it looks so good (particularly the white copper).

Tea servers with triangular handles pass you by countless times a day; the wide copper platters that double as tables represent typical Turkish style.

Gold & Silver

The price by weight is the same, but with labor so cheap, you're bound to get a deal.

Shopping thoroughfares glitter with the stuff - some of it attractive, some of it hideous.

Foodstuffs

The exoticism of the East is in full bloom at Istanbul's Egyptian Spice Bazaar, where you can find a dizzying assortment of spices, dried fruits and nutty concoctions.

The smoothest and most delicious of the household brands is bottled by Komili.

Ottoman Books & Rare Prints

The Ottomans were masters of calligraphy, embellishing the page with dust from sapphires, lapis lazuli, gold, and other gems.

Miniatures generally represent scenes from the life of a sultan and his family, with colorful shades to give the page life.

Meerschaum Pipes

Carved from the magnesium silicate found primarily in Eskisehir, these ivory-colored pipes are hollowed out and polished to mimic playful or grotesque images.

The pipes are sold in most souvenir shops and make fun, frolicsome showpieces

Plan a turkey tours to this country and live some moments that gonna last for ever in your memory.
