Itinerary

Day 1Istanbul Down

Duration: 10.00 am - 16.00 Start your day in Eminönü with a sweet treat at Hacı Muhiddin, where you can sample traditional Turkish delight. Then, take a stroll through the vibrant Spice Bazaar (Mısır Çarşısı), soaking in the colors and aromas of Istanbul’s historic market. Next, head to Karaköy and stop by the famous Güllüoğlu for a taste of authentic Turkish baklava. From there, catch the ferry to Kadıköy, grabbing a fresh simit before boarding. Enjoy your simit with a glass of Turkish tea while watching the seagulls and the Bosphorus views. Once in Kadıköy, dive into the local street food scene: try spicy kokoreç, lemon-sprinkled stuffed mussels (midye dolma), and crispy lahmacun. End your culinary journey with a relaxing tea at a seaside café in Moda, reflecting on a day full of flavors and Istanbul’s unique charm. Bonus Tip: To end your day on a high note, we highly recommend dinner at Çiya Restaurant, featured in a Netflix documentary for its rich culinary heritage and unique Anatolian flavors.
