Turkish culture is a fascinating bridge between East and West. Music ranges from classical Ottoman to folk and modern pop. Whirling dervishes of Konya are UNESCO Heritage. Traditional crafts include Iznik tiles, carpets, calligraphy, and miniature painting. Hospitality is sacred — guests are honored with tea and Turkish coffee. Hammam (Turkish bath) culture dates back centuries. Sports: football is national passion, oil wrestling (yağlı güreş) is traditional. Family bonds remain strong with multi-generational gatherings.
