Istanbul

RESTAURANTS

Saw on an Andrew Henderson video a top-rated restaurant in Istanbul called Serica, Azapkapi, Bankalar Cd. No:5, Karakoy located in The Bank Hotel. Some amazing dishes were shown such as an elaborate artichoke appetizer consisting of baby artichoke, artichoke purée with dill oil. And then a lamb shoulder tandoori with stuffed onion, apricot purée and lamb jus. They also have a chef's tasting menu for ₺2,600 (about $100).

Here are two additional recommendations by Andrew Henderson located in the Nişantaşi neighbourhood:

Nişantaşi Başköşe, Bronz Sokak, No:5, Maçka

The House Café, Harbiye Mah. Atiye Sok. No: 10/1.
There are 10 locations in Istanbul. The House Café Ortaköy, Yıldız mahallesi, Salhane Sokak No: 1, Ortaköy is located on the water with a beautiful view of the Bosphorus.

Trip Planner

Besides the visit to Çanakkale (Troy), I want to see other ancient Greek sites like Ephesus, Pergamon, Miletus, Aphrodisias, and Didyma.
