Turkey: Istanbul on the go
Istanbul snacks non-stop, from ferry piers to bazaar gates. At Eminönü and Karaköy, moored boats grill balık ekmek (fish sandwiches) eaten by the Galata Bridge; the Grand Bazaar quarter is prized for döner carved off the spit. Simit sellers ring sesame bread from red carts everywhere, while Ortaköy is famous for kumpir — a loaded baked potato — eaten with Bosphorus views. Add midye dolma (stuffed mussels), roasted chestnuts and kokoreç for a feast you can carry in one hand.
