You really have to visit one of these places to understand the whole setup. They most certainly will try to rip you off and will use every trick in the book to do so.
My favorite is this one: You pick a cheapish looking rug and they tell you you have "champagne tastes" and say it is very expensive (even though it is worth nowhere NEAR the price they ask). I remember my uncle replied to these men with, "No... I think I just have beer tastes".
That being said I highly recommend visiting the country as it is beautiful and just loaded with history going back to Roman times.
