ISTANBUL FOOD TOUR: 24 Hours of Exploring and EATING Incredible TURKISH FOOD in TURKEY (on a Budget)
İSTANBUL
In this week's video, we spend 24 hours eating incredible Turkish food in Turkey. Welcome to our delicious (budget) Istanbul food tour!
We start our day at Pişi Pişi Kahvaltı with one of our favorite things in the world—Turkish breakfast!
From here, we walk down to Taksim Square to admire the Taksim Mosque and Taksim Monument.
We then make our way towards Cihangir, where we used to live, to try out some Turkish sweets, simit, coffee, and tea. Since we were already in the neighborhood, we decided to visit our old apartment to check in on some of our favorite street cats.
It's now time to grab the ferry over to Kadıköy, on the Asian side of Istanbul. For our first stop, we head to Halil Lahmacun for some lahmacun and pide.
After trying so many delicious foods, we decide it's not time for a drink. We head to Draft to grab some cheap happy hour beers. We also try Lion's Milk, the national drink of Turkey.
Next up, we head to 1971Doner to try one of the most iconic street foods of Turkey—the doner kebab.
For some dessert, we head to Meşhur Dondurmacı Ali Usta for some Turkish ice cream.
After finishing our ice cream, we take a stroll along the water, then take a quick break to sit with some local street cats.
We end the day at Duranoğlu Baklava with some Turkish Delight.
