• Karakoy - Begin the day like a local with your private guide in the lively Karakoy district. Start with a sumptuous, traditional Turkish breakfast featuring delights such as menemen (Turkish scrambled eggs with tomatoes and peppers), sucuklu omelet (spicy beef sausage), and rich kaymak (clotted cream) drizzled with local honey.
• Tophane Meydan Cesmesi - Continue with a leisurely walk through the historic Tophane neighborhood. Stop at a stylish, modern coffee house to enjoy a perfectly brewed Turkish coffee, accompanied by a tasting of some of Istanbul’s freshest and finest baklava.
• Bosphorus Strait - Depart from Europe as you board a local ferry to cross the stunning Bosphorus Strait. Relish the sea breeze and iconic skyline views as you reach Kadıköy on the Asian side (historically known as Chalcedon).
• Kadikoy Carsisi - Kadikoy is a haven for food enthusiasts. As you wander through the bustling streets, savor authentic, slow-cooked Turkish home meals at a traditional artisan eatery or enjoy perfectly grilled, premium kebabs.

No culinary tour of Kadikoy is complete without a visit to the vibrant fish market. Here, indulge in iconic Istanbul street food, including savory stuffed or fried mussels and the renowned kokorec. (Additionally, your guide will have a few delightful “secret dishes” for you to try along the way!)

• Kadikoy Iskelesi - Conclude your culinary adventure at the Kadikoy ferry station. Your guide will ensure you are well-oriented and assist you in boarding the correct ferry for a smooth, relaxing journey back to your hotel on the European side.
