Full description
On this 4-hour guided walking food tour you will travel around Eminönü, its intricate alleyways and hidden corners and go off the beaten paths while eating and enjoying more than 14 delicious food tastings.
With this culinary walk, you will visit bakeries, pastry shops and Turkish pizza restaurants as well as eating a bowl of traditional soup; sharing Turkish-style breakfast with a black tea; tasting a freshly baked bagel; stopping by a local restaurant for sampling an authentic Turkish pizza; or finding some artisan’s shops to visit and mingle with locals picking up their daily products from the markets in a labyrinth of streets.
It will be all about real people, real food and real places.
A visit to the Spice Market follows the Grand Bazaar. This indoor market features shops offering a variety of spices, flavored teas, Turkish delight, and nuts, as well as ceramics, household goods, small souvenirs, and more.
