Istanbul for Foodies: 3-day experience

Overview

Istanbul for Foodies

Turkish and Anatolian cuisines are famous worldwide and for a good reason! Here you will find an abundance of food varieties, from veggies and fruits to meat and fish.

Due to its large territory, the cooking traditions vary from Mediterranian-style seafood and mezes that are close to Spanish tapas to juicy lamb recipes that come from the mountain villages in the East. Geographically Turkey is also special for trading routes between the far East and West. For centuries, spices and herbs were brought to Turkey before traveling to other parts of the world. That meant that the local kitchen quickly adapted to these influences in their cooking.
