I'm Greek as well, and now that you mention it, Turks were indeed the people I tended to have very good relationships at work with. They are especially welcoming, at least the ones I've worked with.

Countries with long intertangled histories often have a lot of cultural similarities as well as deep national grudges. If you remove the people from the national grudges, they tend to get along.
Yeah, we've been living with the Turks for centuries so we're pretty similar. Much, much more similar than, say, to the English.

Though, yes, all the food is Greek and don't let anyone tell you otherwise.

The borek spanakopita wars are eternal. And don’t get the Bulgarians started on Banitza.
