Istanbul’s cuisine was amazing - fresh, spicy meats, vegetables, and seafood, delicious fresh breads, and mouthwatering desserts. We were hard-pressed to find anything with preservatives or chemicals added. If it’s possible to feel healthier living somewhere, this was it.
On top of that, some of our favorite times during the trip were enjoyed with and because of Meredith and Alexander. Every meal was fun (even if not every meal was delicious - we had a few misses!).
