Istanbul, formerly known as Byzantium and later Constantinople, has always been at the crossroads of civilizations. Its unique position on both the European and Asian sides of the Bosphorus Strait makes it a melting pot of cultures, art, architecture, and cuisines.
Istanbul is also a haven for food lovers. From the rich flavors of kebabs, mezes, baklava, and Turkish delight to the comforting taste of Turkish tea and coffee, the city offers a gastronomic journey like no other.
