• Karakoy - Begin the day with your personal guide, experiencing life just like a local. Start in the lively Karakoy district with a sumptuous, traditional Turkish breakfast. Delight in dishes such as menemen (Turkish scrambled eggs with tomatoes and peppers), sucuklu omelet (spicy beef sausage), and rich kaymak (clotted cream) topped with local honey.
• Tophane Meydan Cesmesi - After enjoying a delicious breakfast, take a leisurely stroll through the vibrant neighborhoods of Tophane and Karakoy. Discover the rich Turkish coffee culture and savor its distinctive taste. Additionally, indulge your sweet tooth with the freshest baklava, complemented by a scoop of delightful Turkish ice cream.
• Bosphorus Strait - Depart from Europe and board a local ferry to cross the stunning Bosphorus Strait. Relish the sea breeze and iconic skyline views as you arrive in Kadikoy on the Asian side (historically known as Chalcedon).
• Kadikoy - Kadikoy is a haven for food enthusiasts. As you explore the bustling streets, enjoy authentic, slow-cooked Turkish home meals at a traditional artisan eatery or savor perfectly grilled, premium kebabs.

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