Join us on this culinary walk through some of Istanbul’s most delicious spots and a lovely Bosphorus Cruise. Bosphorus Strait is one of the world’s busiest waterways, connecting Europe to Asia. A visit to theSpice Market follows the cruise. This indoor market features shops offering a variety of spices, flavored teas, Turkish delight, and nuts, as well as ceramics, household goods, small souvenirs, and more.

We will visit bakeries, pastry shops and turkish pizza stores as well as markets, restaurants and tea shops. We’ll do things like; cruising, enjoying a bowl of traditional soup, sharing Turkish-style breakfast with a black tea, tasting freshly baked bagel, stopping by a local restaurant for sampling an authentic Turkish pizza or finding some artisan’s shops to visit and mingle with locals picking up their daily products from the markets in a labyrinth of streets near Grand Bazaar.

We will overlook Istanbul from the roof of the Ottoman caravanserais to see an amazing view. It will be all about REAL FOOD, REAL PEOPLE, REAL PLACES!
