1.) Culture & History
The culture of Turkey is very diverse and heterogeneous with many elements that have been derived from the various cultures of West Asia and Central Asian region and to some degree, Eastern European. Turkey has stunning 4,454 miles of coastline filled with mountains, hills, valleys, and pristine nature dotted with historic monuments ideal for gulet cruises. Modern Turkey’s cultural have created a dynamic blend of east and west, with the majority of locals being Muslims, but variations and levels of Islam are found across the region. Turkish people really care about hospitability and highly care that all visitors are respected and they expect that respect of their religion and country to be the same.
2.) Turkish cuisine
Turkish cuisine is versatile and absolutely delicious and you can find many mouthwatering dishes in this oriental cuisine, which has its heritage of Ottoman and Greek cuisine. It is a bit impossible mission to fit Turkish cuisine into a short list, but to best describe Turkish cuisine we would say it is a perfect mixture of Central Asian, Middle Eastern and Balkan cuisines that are nicely blended together. The benefit of choosing to eat on a gulet is that everything that is prepared on board can be personalized according to your wishes and preferences. So for instance, if you prefer less spicy food or you have some strong dislikes or allergies, your Chef will create a menu that will suit your needs. Although Turkey is known for its Turkish coffee that many love, the surprising fact is that tea (Çay) is the most favorite dring of locals and a sign of hospitality. It is offered at the end of each meal or if you are visiting someone’s house, but of course, many locals drink it at any time of the day, so e recommend trying it out.
