Good morning ☀️
If you want to truly feel Turkey, start your day with a traditional Türk kahvaltısı. It’s not just a meal — it’s a ritual.
The table is filled with everything at once: fresh bread, olives, several types of cheese, eggs, vegetables, honey with kaymak, jams, and endless tea served in tulip-shaped glasses — çay.
A Turkish breakfast is never rushed. People sit, talk, relax, and enjoy the morning. That’s why in Turkey they say: a day that starts with a good breakfast will be a good day.

🚨 500 and 1000 TL Banknotes in Turkey? Debate Heats Up
Turkey is once again discussing the possibility of introducing higher-denomination banknotes as inflation continues to erode purchasing power.
📉 The 200 TL banknote has lost significant value in recent years, sparking public debate about whether 500 TL and 1000 TL notes could become reality.
🏦 The Central Bank remains cautious, stating only that “if there is a need, necessary measures will be taken,” without confirming or denying any plans.
📊 Economists suggest that under current inflation conditions, introducing larger banknotes may only be a matter of time.
