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 (https://maps.app.goo.gl/21CJNCCZZ4FMSB9YA) - 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 (https://maps.app.goo.gl/u6i4Fj4LEpNRhZSJA) - One of my absolute favorite Turkish foods is Çiğ Köfte, that includes raw meat, bulgur, and lots of spices. 📍Dürümcü Raif Usta (https://maps.app.goo.gl/xkrWpGzZeSoByJQCA) - 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 (https://maps.app.goo.gl/qq2h2opz347XSv3v8) - 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 (https://maps.app.goo.gl/Sbf1E4iCwXEg1wB97) - It’s hard to find anything tastier than tantuni! 📍Tekrartekrarr Bay Köfte (https://maps.app.goo.gl/GkhSxeCbeQyJWP6z6) - This was something totally unique and that I’d never seen before, an ultimate cheese overdose, and so good! 📍Sokak pilavcısı (https://maps.app.goo.gl/sKCn3GwgLJFa72q2A) - Another popular Istanbul street food is rice and chickpeas with shredded chicken, and you’ll find it all over the city. 📍Midyeci Erkan (https://maps.app.goo.gl/bfvrVjSiiwJdkAne8) - 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! ★ Follow on Social Media: Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/markwiensfoodvideos Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/migrationology/ Tiktok: https://www.tiktok.com/@markwiens 👕 T-shirts: https://store.migrationology.com/ 🌶 Ghost Chili: https://amzn.to/3PNTvNQ 🎥 Camera gear I use: https://amzn.to/3FVdBUd (some of these are Amazon affiliate links)

I worked with a crazy Turk for about 16 years...he's since moved back to Turkey to take care of his Mom with his second wife...I think I need to go visit him. Loved that man. And he owes me a bottle of Raki.

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

the feeding from these guys is a common gesture in turkey, it means that the person feeding really likes you.

Türkiye is hands down the best place the Army ever sent me to. My son was playing one of the assassins creed games when out of the blue he asked me if i'd ever been to Galata Tower! It brought back so many great memories as we bonded for hours talking about Istanbul!
