Our Local Experts say:
There are some fine examples of Greek cuisine in Istanbul, with some of the restaurants owned by Greeks. The Aegean region, which incorporates both Greece and Turkey, provides much inspiration for the cuisine.
The Aegean Sea offers up a delicious selection of fresh fish and seafood while the region's fertile soil makes it perfect for growing a wide range of fruit and vegetables and producing high quality olive oil.
