    Istanbul, Türkiye - Welcome to Istanbul, one of the most fascinating, historical, and delicious cities in the world. Today I’ll be taking you on an ultimate Turkish street food tour in Istanbul - you can expect some iconic street foods and some unseen surprises!
    Here are the places we ate in this tour:
    📍Galata Simitçisi (maps.app.goo.g...) - You can’t come to Istanbul without trying simit, a common ring shaped bread that you’ll find at bakeries and street food carts throughout the city.
    📍Çiğ Köfteci Seyfettin Usta (maps.app.goo.g...) - One of my absolute favorite Turkish foods is Çiğ Köfte, that includes raw meat, bulgur, and lots of spices.
    📍Dürümcü Raif Usta (maps.app.goo.g...) - Turkey is the king of kebabs and a durum is a grilled kebab served wrapped in bread so it’s often fast and on the go.
    📍Tarihi Eminönü Derya Balıkçısı 1945 (maps.app.goo.g...) - Probably the most iconic of all Turkish street foods in Istanbul is the balik ekmek, a grilled fish sandwich still served on a boat on the Golden Horn.
    📍Beşaltı Kirvem Tantuni (maps.app.goo.g...) - It’s hard to find anything tastier than tantuni!
    📍Tekrartekrarr Bay Köfte (maps.app.goo.g...) - This was something totally unique and that I’d never seen before, an ultimate cheese overdose, and so good!
    📍Sokak pilavcısı (maps.app.goo.g...) - Another popular Istanbul street food is rice and chickpeas with shredded chicken, and you’ll find it all over the city.
    📍Midyeci Erkan (maps.app.goo.g...) - If you love mussels, midye dolma are a dream come true. They go down so easily and are so addictive!
    Istanbul is a street food paradise, and I hope this video will give you some ideas for what to eat when you’re there!

    Istanbul is my favourite destination. The food is amazing and the key is to avoid "tourist" restaurants around attractions - just go deeper into the streets and see where you see all their local people sitting and eating, and just order there - you just cant fail! And TUrkish people are amazing hosts. I love their friendly culture, kindness and etiquette

      as a Turk, this is a very accurate comment. Especially im so sad for those who come to Turkiye and leave without seeing real baklava. I can say that the baklava of the Güllüoğlu's is the best I have ever eaten. Everyone should eat from it. By the way, let me also point out that Istanbul is just the tip of the iceberg. If you research where local dish come from and go to those provinces, you may lose your mind because the taste of the food is so good.

    The Turkish cuisine is a fusion cuisine. It includes the elements of Middle Asia, East Europe, the Balkans, the Mediterranean Sea, Near East, and Middle East. Including the food and beverages, Turkish culture is one of the most influential cultures throughout the world. Cuisine, TV dramas, Turkish music, and all the touristical and historical places in the country are the "soft power" elements of Türkiye. A great history including the Ottoman Empire, and a great culture including traditional and modern elements... A very nice country... West and East are together... Just enjoy your time in Türkiye, and thank you very much for this video.

    Istanbul, Cappadocia, Pamukkale, Efes (Ephesus), Antalya (including its towns), Izmir, Bursa, Abant and Yedigöller, Eskişehir, and the Black Sea region are the most recommended places to visit in Türkiye. Besides the cultural tourism, sea tourism is also so advanced in this country. To swim and sunbathe, you should visit Türkiye, again. The seasides of Türkiye are really unforgettable.

      Welcome and hope you enjoy your trip! I dont know if you're still in the city but as a note, try to avoid that "çiğ köfte" place. It looks really bad. The real çiğ köfte or raw meatball is not allowed for sale for a while now because of health risks since it contains raw meat literally. Though it is legal to serve if they prepare it right there to serve right after preparation unlike the ones that you'll see under the name of çiğ köfte while its nothing but bulgur and lots of sauce and tastes nothing alike. Some kebab restaurants still do the way i describe so if you wanna try it, you should look from there and not the ones that you see on the street named as çiğ köfte stands.

      @@MarkWiens Welcome back again to my country. Dear Mark Wiens i am very happy. I wish you have great nice foodfull journey in Turkey. I do not know your route but you must go to two cities that are the best gastronomic cities in Turkey one is a must Gaziantep (capital of Baklava and Kebap) and the other is my homeland Adana (where the famous legendary Adana Kebap and our national drink Shalgam was born). If you don't know Shalgam, Shalgam is a non alcholic fermented Turnip and Black Carrot juice that is very savory and goes with Kebap very well must try it sometime. I am sorry that in 2015 you had to go back early because of the stupid coup attempt that you and your family encountered.
