Commonly known as Shisha back in Singapore, we noticed that these water-pipes are widely sold at the Grand Bazaar and most market-places. While friends have brought home these water-pipes to serve as decor pieces in their homes, we weren’t interested in doing so. We were however interested in smoking one of these in Istanbul since Nargilehs cafes are a plenty, after-all it’s part of the Turkish institution (which is comprised of the Nargilehs, the Turkish Tea and the Turkish Coffee).
We went in search of a local cafe where we could try our hand in smoking the Nargilehs. Nice, we found a row of local cafes serving these and since it started to snow, we ran inside one of the cafes to seek for cover and keep warm with some Turkish tea.
The average price to smoke the Nargileh is approximately TL 12 – 15. There are many flavours that you could choose from – apple, mint, strawberry, etc – we weren’t feeling very adventurous so we stuck with apple. It was bliss just drawing back and enjoying the apple scent as we puffed away while watching the snow fall outside.
