Cafes
(Kahveler)

Cafes have been very popular in Turkey for almost 200 years. (two centuries before Starbucks) The cafe (Kahve in turkish) is a traditional place where people (mostly students) spend time and discuss politics & soccer.

Modern cafes offer a variety of beverages as well as traditional soft drinks. You can play games like backgammon, checkers and chess (Note that backgammon is the most popular board game in Turkey. It is an accepted way of meeting others in a friendly environment.)

In short, it is very hard to categorize the varieties of cafes. However getting into a cafe - preferably an old one - and having a cup of Turkish coffee would be a great experience if you are looking forward to understanding how people network in Turkey. Say "hi" - or merhaba (en: Hi) - when you go in, you will see a warm smile and a nice welcome.
