Here are some of the characteristics of Turkish food and what you should try when you visit this country. Take note:
– Thanks to belonging to two continents with gastronomies as rich as European and Asian, Turkish cuisine offers fantastic contrasts and mixes in its dishes that are absolutely delicious. In a single dish you can find several different traditions and cooking styles .

– Among its best specialties you can find the Kofte (a spicy in the shape of a sausage and that its meat is like that of meatballs), the Shish kebab (pieces of meat on a skewer that is grilled), Pide (it comes to be a pizza with cheese and eggs), Dolma (they are vine leaves or vegetables that are stuffed with pine nuts and raisins) or the Lokum (a dessert that combines honey, jasmine and roses with gum arabic. Ideal for after coffee).
– As for the drinks, the most traditional are raki (anise), cay (tea), ayran (a drink made from yogurt) or strong Turkish black coffee, which is the most traditional in the whole country Although if you are not very into coffee, I recommend that you take a milder one.
