• Galata Bridge - Adjacent to the meeting point, the Galata Bridge spans the Golden Horn, connecting Istanbul’s historic old city with the vibrant, modern energy of Beyoğlu. More than just a bridge, it serves as a gateway between two worlds and is the ideal starting point for a culinary journey.
• Istiklal Avenue - Prepare to explore unique local spots, bustling food markets, and the famous İstiklal Street—the lively heart of Beyoğlu.
• Cicek Passage - Offers a variety of savory specialties, freshly made street snacks, and comforting homemade classics.

A highlight is gözleme—a traditional Turkish flatbread, hand-rolled, filled with ingredients like cheese or spinach, and cooked on a hot griddle. Witness its preparation right before your eyes, then savor it warm, crispy, and comforting, just as it has been crafted in homes and markets for generations.

• Avrupa Passage - Another must-try is midye dolma—plump mussels stuffed with fragrant spiced rice, served directly from the street vendor. Locals enjoy them standing, one by one, finished with a generous squeeze of lemon—fresh, tangy, and bursting with flavor in every bite.
• Historic Areas of Istanbul - Tantuni is another street favorite: thinly sliced, spiced meat sautéed with onions and tomatoes, then wrapped in a soft flatbread. Packed with bold flavors and just the right amount of heat, it’s the perfect handheld bite to enjoy while exploring the streets of Istanbul.
• Istanbul - Çiğ köfte is a zesty, spicy Turkish specialty made from bulgur, finely ground herbs, and rich seasonings. Traditionally eaten raw and served with crisp lettuce or fresh flatbread, it’s an explosion of flavor and a must-try for adventurous eaters.
• Taksim Square - No Turkish food tour would be complete without baklava. Layers of crisp, flaky pastry, sweetened with syrup and filled with crunchy nuts, make this iconic dessert irresistible. Each bite is a perfect balance of sweetness and texture—an indulgent treat that has delighted locals for generations.
