Tell me if "presents" are appropriate for the Turks
in the form of chocolates and alcohol?

They take everything and with pleasure, but they love money most of all. Cigarettes and alcohol are expensive in Turkey, so they take a present willingly. At the entrance to the hotel, you can give 15-20 dollars (at the reception), then they will settle without delay and still let you choose a room ...

In hotel bars, I sometimes tip the bartenders (1-2 dollars), not every time, but this is already quite enough to notice their friendly attitude ...

Tipping should be given to bartenders, waiters, maids, taxi drivers. And appeasing the hotel staff (I assume that you meant the reception staff) with sweets, alcohol, etc. is a relic of the soviet deficit.

I act according to the principle: I served well - I received a tip. Incl. sweets, alcohol, cigarettes, chocolate.

I probably formulated the question incorrectly, it's not about tips at all, and not about "appeasing" the staff. It's strange with us, you want to present something from the heart, to someone, everything is "scoop", or you want to get something in return. So talk too It’s impossible. As for me, we’ll just be in this hotel 3 times, and I’m not going to appease the reception, as I’m a constant guest, and so I hope that I’ll settle in a good room. I would like the employees to bring something from the “soul”, and not 1-5 dollars. I’ll be honest, I don’t know if the Turks drink alcohol, but would chocolate be appropriate for a man? That was the question.

Alcohol will be accepted with pleasure, even if non-drinkers - it is dear to them. Chocolates too - all Turks have a sweet tooth. You don't have to judge others. As written, so understood.

Cigarettes, sweets, alcohol. Ironically, they love dark chocolate. I brought souvenirs with the symbols of Kyiv, they were very grateful.

If this is not the first time at the hotel and you are planning to do something pleasant for a specific person, it may be better to present a souvenir, a neutral sweet little thing. Sweets, alcohol, well, not really everything, everyone has their own preferences, as an example: I eat very specific chocolate, certain brands, the same with tea, coffee, etc. and the joys of sweets, which I don’t eat at all - they lie in a desk drawer at work, periodically treat them to employees, or throw them away due to the expiration date. My offer is a souvenir, it is possible with the symbols of your city.

Thank you, I also thought about a souvenir with symbols. I probably will.

Every year I bring gifts to Turkey with me - red caviar, Ukrainian vodka, Ukrainian souvenirs, in 2012 I brought a lot with the symbols of Euro 2012 - they always accepted with undisguised gratitude. Turks smoke and drink very rarely, but they love gifts.

Right now in Mirada. Also the 3rd time. Indeed, they settled perfectly, something new appeared and a lot of new staff, especially at the reception. So bring souvenirs, but not the fact that you will give them to someone you know. And for the hotel, the best gift is a great review wherever you can write :)

I agree with the previous answers - chocolate, cigarettes or alcohol are not a relic of a Soviet shortage, but a small gift, which, combined with a smile upon delivery and the GOOD WELCOME of the tourist upon check-in, will ensure a quick check-in to a good room, a friendly attitude of the staff and a prompt solution to your problems within rest - I speak as an experienced tourist. The staff in hotels usually changes every season, so the chance of finding a "favorite" employee is small.

Turks are very fond of our sweets and chocolate. They are much tastier than European ones. And no one refused alcohol. Our vodka is highly valued there. We somehow asked to change the room and we were given the keys to two without any presents ... Then, of course, we thanked. But at the expense of souvenirs ... I would not bother. And once I was asked to bring condensed milk...

This is a common myth :))) European ones are simply more expensive.
Turks love and accept chocolate, alcohol too - vodka and, oddly enough, our terrible champagne.
And for our girls (Russians and Ukrainians), we usually bring sausage and smoked meats and salted fish at the end of the season :) They are bored :)

I was once asked to bring cookies like Chess / Autumn, etc. (they don't have anything similar), and yesterday the Turk who took me to the airport asked me to bring smoked bacon in the fall :) It's hard to say what exactly a particular person will like. I often do not take money for small services, they are even offended when you offer. Everyone loves just a good attitude, but with a gift or not - it does not matter.

We brought Kazakhstan-made sweets such as Little Red Riding Hood, Red Poppy, Kara-Kum, Mishka in the north. And we also left biscuit rolls from the road, so they also left with a bang ... We took the most ordinary vodka. The Turks like that the name of vodka would be Russian, Wheat or something like that ... They took cheap cognac in 200 ml-250 ml for presents ... And at the expense of more expensive, tastier ... They ate Italian sweets and the child expressed the thought: "It's as if the palace has chewed:)))" When our Germans come to Kazakhstan, they simply start to overeat. Our products are much more natural and tastier.

Conversation about nothing. What exactly"Italian sweets "? What kind of carpet did the child compare with? :)))
The same German"Ritter Sport" easily "make" any Soviet chocolate.

About foreigners who"overeat " in Kazakhstan, I can express two versions: the first is that you have a very tasty national cuisine, which they lack in Germany. The second is that your products are cheaper than similar ones in Germany. This does not mean that the products are "more natural and tastier".

I don’t know about Kazakhstan, I haven’t been, but in a number of European countries where they themselves, or our relatives, friends, very high-quality and natural products, they don’t use frozen meat, chickens, etc., but the stores have it all, just with the expectation of less demanding tourists.

And how well it started ... You can, of course, argue for a long time ... I suggest everyone to remain with their own opinion ... Bring alcohol ... you won’t lose ... They sell 250 ml in bars for 25-40 dollars .. They also ask for red MALBORO ... In tourist areas, a pack of up to $ 5 costs ...
