Overview

SGA Travel’s 4-hour Afternoon Foodie Trail in Istanbul takes you deep into the city’s culinary heart, combining history and street food. Start at the vibrant Mısır Çarşısı (Spice Market), where you'll taste traditional Turkish lokum and explore aromatic spice stalls. Cross the Galata Bridge to Karaköy, where local vendors serve specialties like kokoreç (grilled lamb intestines) and midye dolma (stuffed mussels).

At Mandabatmaz, savor thick Turkish coffee, paired with crispy içli köfte (stuffed meatballs). The journey continues along bustling Istiklal Caddesi, where you'll try the famous islak hamburger, and for dessert, indulge in syrupy baklava and more Turkish delights.

This tour offers a unique way to connect with Istanbul's street food culture, tasting dishes prepared by vendors who have honed their craft over generations, providing an authentic culinary experience.
