Turkish cuisine is one of the few fusion cuisines in the world, and food and drinks are both healthy and delicious. In various regions of Turkey, you can have the opportunity to eat different dishes flavored with diverse plant and animal products. For instance, fruits and vegetables grown in the Aegean Region differ from each other in taste, texture, and appearance from fruits and vegetables grown in the Central Anatolia Region. In the Mediterranean region of the country, mostly vegetable dishes are cooked, and they are pretty healthy. Therefore, Aegean and Mediterranean cuisine has an important place in the diverse food culture of Turkey.
One of the places that those who want to discover Istanbul should definitely visit is the bazaars. Istanbul bazaars are divided into three. These can be listed as society bazaars, district bazaars, and historical bazaars. One of the most crowded places in Istanbul is its Istanbul bazaars. The phrase used by the Turks summarizes the most important characteristics of the Istanbul bazaars: There is no such thing that can't be found here. Yes, that is right because Istanbul bazaars are shopping stalls where everything that comes to mind, such as food, clothes, household goods, toys, and kitchen utensils, you name it.
It does not matter when you are visiting istanbul city because it offers many activities and things for you to do in this historical, beautiful, and rich culture city but still, there are definitely a couple of months when istanbul is the most fun.
