Some tips:
- Prefer using cash for purchases at the food stalls and local markets. Many vendors don't accept credit cards.
- Remember to ask for prices before purchasing anything to avoid any surprises. Haggling over prices is common in Turkey, and your polite persistence could reward you with a lower price.
- Indulge but donโt overeat. There will be plenty to taste, so pace yourself. Try modest amounts of each food item as you never know what delicious dish awaits you at the next corner.
