Turkey and Greece have many common features and characteristics gained thru the history.

Both nations do prepare many similar cooking and eat them but name the dishes differently. They drink exactly the same drinks but produce them under different names. Turks and Greeks do listen and enjoy many similar folkloric tunes but sing them in different verses and languages. The folkloric cultures which are the most determinative features of populations of both people are almost similar in most senses. The songs that you may hear on the western shores of Turkey are sung at the Aegean cost of Greece while the same folk dances are performed as well. When you entertain and enjoy yourself in an Athens tavern having a good time, you can make sure that there are similar places in Izmir or Istanbul where people listen to almost the same type of music and dance with the similar rhythms. If any Turk or any Greek living in far and remote places or countries away from home come across a market or a grocery store run by one of the other nation, he or she will sure find many special foods to buy that will be so familiar and relished.
