Special price...just for you...

Travelling to Turkey?  Ready to stock up on souvenirs but not sure what Turkey is known for?  Welp, you're in luck - the dollar is very strong and it is quite the shopper's country!  Keep reading for my favorite Turkish souvenirs (if you're wondering, odds are that we did, in fact, purchase one or more of each of these items - we kiiiinda had to pay for 2 extra bags on the flights home)...

shiny, pretty lamps!

miles and miles of Turkish Delight

Wine (in a cave shop - the shelves are carved out)

Lovely pottery

More pottery

your average, everyday ceramic Fertility Pomegranates

carpets!

beautiful lamps in the Grand Bazaar and an unfortunate shot of a Turkish man...
