Itinerary
From kebabs to baklava to Turkish delight, Turkish food is famous worldwide. While many people have more than the odd kebabs in their time, there is so much more to Turkish food than just kebabs, as you will discover on the Istanbul Food Tour. The tour takes you off the beaten track so you can sample the authentic tastes of Istanbul and experience delicious Turkish delicacies you may not have known existed. While discovering local markets, you will also gain an overview of Turkish history and culture while appreciating Istanbul's unique architecture. Whether you are a food expert or love food, the Istanbul Food Tour will fulfill your eating dreams. You will meet with your guide at your accommodation or Istanbul Galataport Cruise Terminal and walk or take a tram to Karakoy, where we will have our Turkish breakfast, which includes Turkish menemen, sucuklu omelet, kaymak, and honey. Then, we will wander around Tophane, give a break for a cup of tea/coffee, and taste the freshest baklava in Istanbul. In the afternoon, we will catch a ferry from the European side of Istanbul to the Asian side to Kadikoy (Kalkedon, an ancient name that means the city of the blind), where you will taste authentic Turkish cuisine, or kebabs, and, if you are feeling adventurous, maybe a liver wrap. We will then continue to the fish market, where you can sample stuffed or fried mussels and kokorec. A Turkish food tour would only be complete with sampling Turkish coffee and desserts. So, after indulging, we will finish the tour at the Kadikoy ferry station, where you can easily take a ferry back to your hotel or Istanbul Galataport Cruise terminal. And, of course, there are our delicious secret dishes, too. So that you know, the itinerary will change based on the location's availability and weather.
