Nargile Bars

Nargile is yet another brick in the wall of Turkish adventure. And just like a wall will still stand with one brick missing, your visit will too remain valuable without a puff of Turkish tobacco from the communal hookah pipe, but neither the wall nor your experience can then be called complete. Dating back to the 17th century Ottoman Empire, the interest in nargile's calming vapors currently sees its revival the world over. The down-at-heel nargile bars have gained the status of trendy cafes, now serving phenomenal coffee to go with the traditional water pipe service. Besides, those ornamental glass bottles with long flexible hoses attached can on most occasions be considered art objects, so if you're not much into smoking or coffee, there's at least something really nice to lay your eyes on.
