Taste of Two Continents: Istanbul Food Tour

Istanbul 6 hours

Meet your guide and small group—there’s a maximum of 10 travelers on this tour, including you—at a coffee shop near the Spice Bazaar on the European side of Istanbul. Shop for a Turkish breakfast, including cheeses, cured meat, honey, olives, bread, hazelnut paste, and Turkish clotted cream. Eat it at a local tea house with Turkish scrambled eggs as your guide explains how culture and food intersect. Next, capture photos as you ride the ferry across the Bosphorus from Europe to Asia and the chic Kadikoy neighborhood. Sip, snack, slurp, and snap your way through Kadikoy Market. Sample fresh-brewed Turkish coffee and crispy baklava, alongside popular street foods including wraps, grills, stuffed vine leaves, and much, much more. Your tour finishes at Kadikoy Ferry Terminal. Your guide will give you tickets and help you catch the right ferry, either back to the Spice Bazaar or over to Karakoy.
