5 Reasons you Should never Take a Meal in Turkey for Granted

Do not fill your own glass if you want to drink anything while having a meal in Turkey. Let your neighbor fill it for you and fill his glass when he wants.

Do remember that it is totally acceptable to ask for a second serving in Turkey. Also, this is considered as a way of complimenting your host.

Be prepared to sit on the floor for a meal when you visit rural areas in Turkey. It is their tradition and they generally eat from one large bowl, instead of separate plates.

When you're a guest at someone's home in Turkey, insist on serving the eldest member first. This is a way of showing respect and complementing your host.

Don't decline when someone offers you tea or coffee, as it is a nice gesture in Turkey. Also, don't hold your tea glass from the stem, hold it from the top.
