Turkish cuisine is one of the richest in the world, and Istanbul is the perfect place to explore it. Start your day with a traditional Turkish breakfast (serpme kahvaltı), which includes cheeses, olives, tomatoes, cucumbers, simit (sesame-crusted bread), and menemen (scrambled eggs with tomatoes and peppers). I wasn’t sure what to try first, so I looked up some recommendations on https://istanbulpoints.com/. The articles there helped me discover local gems beyond the usual kebabs and baklava. Thanks to their tips, I tried midye dolma (stuffed mussels) and a fantastic kunefe spot I wouldn’t have found otherwise.
