Eating and drinking

Intrepid believes that one of the best ways to experience a country is by eating! Whether you re sampling street food, savoring a cheap eat or indulging in a banquet, there are endless options to choose from wherever you are in the world.

Things to try in Turkey

1. Gozleme

This spinach and cheese pastry is a tasty, bargain bite that will satisfy everyone (especially vegetarians).

Love it or hate it, this iconic Turkish sweet treat (known internationally as Turkish delight) can be found in shops, bazaars and street stalls nearly everywhere in Turkey. Made from rosewater, lemon, sugar, corn flour and water, it s relatively easy to make… and even easier to eat (if you re a fan).

For a quick, easy to eat, cheap and filling snack, try a simit (bread ring). Carts selling simit can be found in most cities, usually at bus and train stations, main streets and other busy thoroughfares.

4. Fish Sandwiches

If visiting the Bosphorus, then a fish sandwich is a must-try dish. Just visit one of the moored boats preparing the fish and watch it get wrapped in a bread roll and handed to hungry bystanders. It s an iconic Turkish food moment worth savoring.
