Foodies – Private Half-Day Experience
Embark on a delicious 4-hour culinary tour that will take you through both sides of Istanbul : the European and the Asian. We'll begin in the lively Karaköy district, where the streets are filled with irresistible aromas. Here, we'll explore its vibrant food scene, sampling local classics like the famous fish dürüm and freshly made gözleme, each bite bursting with the authentic flavor of the city's culinary heritage.
Afterward, we'll take a scenic ferry across the Bosphorus, enjoying breathtaking views as we head to the Asian side. In the bustling culinary paradise of Kadıköy , a new chapter of flavors awaits: we'll sample delicacies such as crispy lahmacun , freshly baked pide , and Istanbul 's famous mussels—stuffed with aromatic rice or fried and served with garlic sauce. In total, you'll taste around 10 different dishes that tell the story of Istanbul's rich and diverse food culture.
To end on a sweet note, we'll enjoy a selection of desserts that combines beloved Turkish classics with innovative creations that surprise with their unusual ingredients. Every bite will be an experience designed to surprise and delight your palate.
