It is considered rude/disrespectful to chew gum whilst talking to someone of a higher status or at a formal occasion Avoid sitting in any position that allows one’s shoe to face another person. This is considered insulting It is considered improper for a woman to cross her legs while sitting. Ask permission before taking a woman’s photograph. Try to gesture, touch people or offer items using only the right hand or both hands together. People rarely split a bill in Turkey ACTIVITIES 1. VISIT THE MAUSOLEUM OF ATATURK The magnitude of Atatürk’s legacy is undeniable when you first witness his lavish memorial. It’s hard to not be impressed by its sheer size and grandeur – it’s simple, yet powerful. This extravagant tomb and memorial is particularly important to the city of Ankara because it was Atatürk, the revolutionary founder and first president of the new Republic of Turkey, who designated Ankara as the country’s new capital city. 2. Wander the streets of the old quarter It’s a touristy area, at least for Ankara standards (but far less busy than the Old Quarters in Istanbul). There are plenty of overpriced restaurants and street touts selling cheap souvenirs and trinkets. The merchants here like to bargain hard, so, if you’re up for some spirited bargaining, you’ll enjoy this part of Ankara 3. Visit the Panoramic views from Atakule Tower Located in the trendy and modern shopping district of Cankaya, Atakule Tower offers visitors the highest viewpoint in the city. Without question, the panoramic views from Atakule are the best in the city, as the photo above illustrates. It’s quite interesting to see the city from a bird’s perspective, knowing that the Roman, Byzantine and Ottoman civilizations made this land home once upon a time.
