Getting hassled.

In Greece, the most, and pretty much the only hassling was done by restaurant touts - Have a drink? Hungry for something? Yes please just see our menu. Lovely table, right here, just for you. Hallo, Hello, Bonjour, etc. They stand out on the street near the dining area and try to get your attention. Since I was by myself a lot in Greece they didn't bother me too much.

In Turkey, you get hassled by every single shop owner. You can't take a look at anything without being approached...and they don't leave you alone either. We've gone out as a group a few times (about ten people) and it is a nightmare.
