Turkish cuisine is a marriage of Middle Eastern, European and Central Asian traditions that have evolved over the centuries. Inscribed onto UNESCO's list of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity, it reflects the long history of this city and its people. The food is quite healthful, full of vegetables, grains, and hearty dishes flavored with a heady mix of herbs and subtle spices. Immerse yourself in an evening of culture and gastronomical delights that begins when you meet your guide at the pier and head to a popular restaurant. Hospitality along with the food is central to an enjoyable meal. Once you arrive at the restaurant, you'll be greeted to a variety of snacks and appetizers such as cold salads, goat cheese and meatballs; hot appetizers that include flatbread and BBQ'd lamb; and a main course with a variety of kebabs followed by a sweet dessert. All served with refreshments.
