Morning
Start with a warm sesame simit and a glass of Turkish tea from a street cart, then a proper Turkish breakfast spread in Kadıköy or Beşiktaş.
Afternoon
Take the ferry to Eminönü for balık ekmek, a grilled fish sandwich served right by the water. Try midye dolma (stuffed mussels) from the street sellers.
Evening
Döner and kokoreç for the brave, then finish with künefe, a hot cheese pastry soaked in syrup and topped with pistachio.
