If you love fresh fruits and vegetables, seafood and soft cheeses, olives and flavorful meat dishes, wine and oriental sweets, you will surely enjoy getting to know the local cuisine. Especially since Greek, Arabic, English and Turkish culinary traditions are intertwined in an original way.
For example, try several varieties of Turkish pizza, such as lahmajun and pide, and then move on to Greek moussaka (baked eggplant, lamb, potatoes, cheese with Béchamel sauce) and kleftiko (lamb roasted in a special oven). As an appetizer, order the zadziki (unsweetened thick yogurt with cucumbers, mint and garlic), and for dessert, have the glica (fruit cooked in sugar syrup).
