Travel Programme
- Meet early in the morning and have a Turkish breakfast first. The word for breakfast in Turkish is kahvaltı. It can be translated as kahve–altı being under-coffee, meaning the food you eat before drinking coffee. The choices you will taste at breakfast is countless in Turkey, lets try the best and most traditional ones.
- Walking after breakfast will aid our digestion after the breakfast.

- We may have our lunch at one of the Istanbul’s rich ethnic cuisine restaurants such as Greek, Armenian, Syrian, Uzbek…
- After the luch we may have another street walk to get ready for the dinner.
- Istanbul has world class fine dining restaurants. We may try one of these or we may have “rakı balık” at a Turkish classical meyhane where you may also listen Turkish “fasıl” music.
