Calling a Turkish florist (Çiçekçilik) can be a challenge, but don’t worry, there is an app for that!
CicekSepeti is a service used by a lot of Turks, the name means “Flowers delivery”.
CicekSepeti is part of Lolaflora, an International flower and gifting delivery company.
The website is in Turkish, www.ciceksepeti.com but Google Chrome will translate everything and make it easy to understand.I tested the service and the delivery was really quick.
Prices are a bit more expensive than flower stores. (Çiçekçilik)
