Greeting

Genclik park

Turkish greet differently than Spanish and Finnish. When you meet for the first time in Turkey you shake hands with men and women. After you are closer friends you greet different way. Men greet each other with handshake and by lightly hitting both sides of forehead together or giving two kisses. Some men also chuck their lips when giving two kisses but everybody does not do that. Men also give two kisses to women when they are closer friends but men giving kisses to women in Turkey is less common than in Spain. Women greet each other normally by giving two kisses
