Istanbul Best Street Food Tour With A Local Guide

Street Food Tour in Istanbul

During our recent visit to Istanbul, we took a Street Food Tour with Sibel to explore local cuisine. We met Sibel at the Spice Market and took a ferry across the Bosphorus to the Kadikoy market on the Asian side of Istanbul. We had kokoreç (beef intestines), midye tava (fried mussels with a delicious sauce), pickle juice with pickled veggies, pilav (rice with chicken), mercimek köftesi (lentil and bulgar patties), and lahmacun (fresh crispy dough with pomegranate molasses--a winter special--yummy!) served with a salty yogurt drink. We ended the tour with fried donuts and Turkish tea. Everything was special and delicious! Sibel was very attentive, patient, and kind. She generously helped me with inquiries even after I returned to the U.S. I highly recommend taking this tour at the beginning of your Istanbul trip because Sibel is a treasure trove of insider knowledge and recommendations for restaurants, shopping, and beyond.

Historic Aga Hamami Turkish Bath Experience in Istanbul

Experience of a lifetime!

My husband & I had the mid level treatment which lasts just over an hour - my husband referred to it as an experience of a lifetime! My therapist Bouquet was amazing - of all the massages I have had she was by far the best ever. From the scouring, to the mud, to the suds, to the massage, her techniques were fantastic - Thank you Hamam for a lifetime memory!
