Ankara Street Food Safari
Embark on a culinary adventure through the bustling streets of Ankara. Taste local flavors, enjoy new dishes, and fall in love again.
- Begin your culinary journey at Kızılay Square, where numerous food carts offer a variety of treats. Share a 'simit' with your partner, enjoying the sesame-laden delight while watching the city buzz around you.
- Next, wander over to the historic streets near Ulus. Here, try traditional Turkish mussels stuffed with spicy rice and savor the burst of flavors. Discuss your favorite dishes and dream about future travels together.
- Conclude the tour in the bustling area of Çankaya. Discover hidden gems serving 'kumpir', a loaded baked potato, and choose your favorite toppings together, creating a perfect end to your culinary adventure.
Preparation steps:
- Check up on the opening times for the street food stalls around Kızılay Square and plan your route to cover different areas like Ulus and Çankaya.
- Wear comfortable shoes and casual clothes as there will be a lot of walking. Maybe bring an extra tote bag for any goodies or souvenirs you find along the way.
- Be sure to bring water and perhaps a small Turkish phrasebook or an app to help communicate with local vendors and add to the authenticity of your foodie adventure.
