ISTANBUL, Dec. 29 (Xinhua) --Candy stores across Istanbul have lit up with New Year's Eve decorations and filled their showcases with eye-catching colorful products.
Serving Turkish delight or candy to their guests on special occasions with the saying "Let's eat sweet and talk sweet" is a broad tradition for Turks and the best way to wish a "sweet new year."
A historic candy store at the heart of the Anatolian side district of Kadikoy has become an attraction center for locals and visitors.
Some loyal customers came to buy candies from the neighboring city of Kocaeli.
Patisseries are also packed with people in the Besiktas districts on the European side.
A patisserie manager says the store's capacity is fully booked.
