Delicious way to experience Istanbul. - When visiting Istanbul, it is essential to not miss out on exploring the museums and bazaars. However one of the most crucial parts of the trip is experiencing the local cuisine. For the ultimate culinary experience, you can rely on your guide from Off The Beaten Path Istanbul. Derya, the guide, is highly knowledgeable, flexible, and incredibly enjoyable to be around. She took us to taste and savor the most mouthwatering baklava, kebab, Turkish ice cream, cheeses, and delicious Turkish coffee. The tour ended at a wine house where we spent extra hours with the lovely Derya, sipping on some Turkish local wines.
