Highlights

Have you ever had breakfast in Europe and lunch in Asia? Start the day in Europe then cross the Bosphorus with a ferry and get lunch in Asia with yummy Turkish food. Tour starts at the European side of the city. We will have a hearty breakfast at the historic center of the city and then continue on our hungry mission to the Asian side via city ferries. Our hunt for delicious food will continue on the dynamic streets of Kadıköy. A wide variety of foods awaits us from dished that make you feel at home, to lahmacun, and from ice cream to traditional desserts. At approximately 10 stops we will stop by and taste the bite-size delicacies. If we are not full the tour does not stop.

Itinerary

  1. No visit to Istanbul is complete without stopping by the atmospheric Eminonu and Spice Bazaar. While the Grand Bazaar may be the largest and most famous of Istanbul's covered bazaars, this spice market wins the prize for being the most colorful, fragrant, and often the most fun – as visitors can taste the goods on offer.

    30 min

  2. Visit the local breakfast market to collect Turkish breakfast items which could be your favorite meal on your Turkey trip. Head to the local tea house to settle down and enjoy your breakfast while your guide is explaining all the items and daily local life.

    1.5 h

  3. Catch the ferry to cross to Asia continent. That is a unique experience, having a breakfast in Europe and lunch in Europe without a private jet. We will be spending the next half of the day between Kadikoy and Moda, the new ‘cool’ neighborhoods of Istanbul.

    30 minAdmission included

  4. Try a selection of favorite Turkish foods and enjoy the tastings at a range of local haunts in the Kadikoy Market.

About Istanbul

Istanbul straddles Europe and Asia across the Bosphorus, with Byzantine and Ottoman monuments, busy bazaars and ferries crossing between continents.

The historic peninsula holds the greatest landmarks. Hagia Sophia, the Blue Mosque and the Hippodrome face each other in Sultanahmet, the Basilica Cistern lies beneath the streets, and Topkapı Palace spreads across the hill above the Golden Horn. A short walk away, the Grand Bazaar and the Spice Bazaar have traded for centuries, and Süleymaniye Mosque, built by the great Ottoman architect Sinan, crowns one of the city's seven hills.

Top-ranked sights in Istanbul: Dolmabahce Palace (Dolmabahce Sarayi), Bosphorus, Bosphorus Bridge (Bogazici Koprusu).
