Strong Turkish coffee is served after meals. S hopping Shopping is so rewarding that many visitors return just for that reason. In addition to clothing and fashion accessories, traditional Turkish handcrafts are popular. The latter include vases, plates, copper and brassware, gold and silver jewelry, leather goods, samovars and hookahs, and meerschaum items. Istanbul's fabulous Grand Bazaar is a maze of covered streets housing 4,000 shops, cafes and restaurants.
Bargaining is the norm in bazaars and in some resort areas.
