- Lunch Break 1:00 PM - 2:00 PM.
- Pro Tip Best reached between 9:30 AM and 11:30 AM. Business is professional and pragmatic. As a major UK hub, it has high standards for efficiency. Punctuality is expected, and a polite, collaborative tone is standard for building successful partnerships.
Istanbul Business Pulse
- Culture A bridge between East and West. Business is personal, and hospitality (tea/coffee) is a prerequisite.
- Lunch Break 12:30 PM - 1:30 PM.
- Pro Tip Aim for calls between 10:00 AM and 12:00 PM or 2:00 PM and 4:30 PM. Turkish business culture is highly relational; starting with "Nasılsınız?" (How are you?) and building rapport is essential. Avoid scheduling critical calls late on Friday afternoons.
