About this experience
Begin your journey in Eminönü, meeting your professional guide near the Spice Bazaar. After a short introduction, enjoy a traditional Turkish-style breakfast, followed by a walk through the historic bazaar filled with the aromas of spices and centuries-old trade culture.
Taste Beyran soup, learn how it is prepared, and hear its fascinating story from the Ottoman era. Then, take a scenic ferry ride across the Bosphorus to the Asian side, with a photo stop overlooking the strait where two continents meet.
In Kadıköy Market, explore Istanbul’s vibrant local food scene with multiple tastings, including İskender kebab with şıra, pickle juice, lahmacun with ayran, stuffed mussels, and finally baklava with Turkish coffee. At each stop, your guide shares the cultural and historical background of the dishes, turning every bite into a story.
End the tour with a relaxing ferry ride back to Eminönü, enjoying panoramic Bosphorus views and unforgettable memories of Istanbul’s flavors.
