For my other guides covering the rest of Istanbul check these :
European Side:
Asian Side:
Breakfast




Meyhaneler (Meze & Rakı Places)
"Rakı" is a traditional alcoholic beverage made with anise and "Meze" is similar to tapa, the food that you enjoy with your drink and mostly shareable with others at the table.
Our Rakı&Meze culture is strong in Istanbul. Here are my favorite places.












Pubs & Cocktail Bars




Patisserie , Icecream & Cafes






Before /After Visiting The Prince Islands …
These places are not on the Prince Islands but you can drop by to have a bite on your return journey or before going to the Islands.
Located in Bostancı, a lovely neighbourhood, but an “Off the Beaten Track” area unknown by the tourists, you wouldn’t normally visit these places, unless you went there to take the ferry to Prince Islands.
