You can't come to Turkey without trying Turkish delight. This place - which has been in the confection business since 1777 - is where to try and buy it. You should also suck on some akide, colourful boiled sweets which come in every conceivable flavour. Other tasty gifts include halva, baklava and marzipan (badem ezmesi) which all come in beautiful gift-wrapped boxes.
