Having spent most of my time in Turkey on the Black Sea coast, it was a bit of a shock to suddenly be in such a conservative city again. The cafes were segregated, and I was turned away at a couple of them because the only free tables were deemed too close to tables occupied by families. So,if you are a single man, don't just sit down at any table in a cafe...look around for groups of men, and sit near them, rather than suffer the embarrassment of being asked to leave! In restaurants, men always sit in the front room, while unaccompanied women and families disappear behind a curtain into the segregated area...even the waiters are unable to pass through this curtain, so many restaurants employ young boys to take the orders and serve the food to women.
