TURKISH FOOD TOUR IN ISTANBUL WITH A LOCAL | Istanbul, Turkey 🇹🇷

TURKISH FOOD TOUR IN ISTANBUL WITH A LOCAL | Istanbul, Turkey 🇹🇷
Welcome back to our last video in our Turkey travel series! After one last surreal sunrise in Cappadocia, we hopped on a quick flight back to Istanbul. In Istanbul we met up with our friend, Enes, to spend the day exploring the city by ferry on the Bosphorus.
Enes wanted to show us how the locals travel via ferry on the Bosphorus and he made sure to take us on a route rarely traveled by tourists. Initially, we thought we were just going to be site seeing but it quickly turned into an impromptu food tour! We stopped along the way and tried stuffed mussels, fruit from the local market, cig kofte wraps, and a couple yummy Turkish drinks!

Hello u 2. I love vlogs about my country. Especially if they are made by non-Turks. But one thing I heard often is that u say couscous to bulgur, what is actually precoocked broken wheat. Couscous is also made from wheat, but its not precooked and it's getting formed to little small balls. Its more noodles than bulgur. ;) Thnx 4 the videos.

[@SammyandTommy]

Thanks so much! Glad you enjoyed the videos 😃 We appreciate the clarification and support!
