Photo // Bulgarian Tavla Set (Bunovo, Bulgaria)
The game of #tavla (#backgammon) is extremely popular in Turkey. You can find places all over Istanbul with chai tea, backgammon, and possibly nargile (shisha hookah).
Tavla is also quite popular in Bulgaria, likely a relic of the Ottoman Empire days.
Here is a cute travel set I snapped a pic of in Bunovo.
Backgammon is one of the old relic games that characterised the old Ottoman Empire days. What a great, nostalgic shot!
